Special Advisor Jason Stein Faces Scrutiny Over Alleged Briefings About Conservative MPs
Jason Stein, a special advisor to Prime Minister Liz Truss, has been suspended from his position pending an investigation by the Cabinet Office’s propriety and ethics unit. The suspension comes in the wake of anger from several Conservative MPs, including former Chancellor Sajid Javid, who was reportedly furious after a briefing by No 10 sources suggested he was incompetent and should not replace Kwasi Kwarteng at the Treasury. The controversy over the briefing has raised questions about the conduct of the Prime Minister’s aides and sparked further tensions within the Conservative Party.
