People waiting for a decision on the minister's future still don't know if he'll keep his job. Mike Tapp said on Friday he wouldn't back away from his position after Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood asked for his dismissal over an article published without approval. Prime Minister Keir Starmer hasn't removed him, and Justice Minister Jake Richards said the matter would be handled inside government.
