No 10 Downing Street disclosed that Dominic Raab is now facing eight formal complaints about his conduct as an investigation into bullying allegations was widened once again.
Downing Street said top barrister Adam Tolley KC had been asked by the Prime Minister to include a further five complaints in his ongoing investigation.
The new allegations relate to Mr Raab’s behaviour at the Ministry of Justice.
Mr Tolley was last month appointed by Rishi Sunak to conduct the inquiry into Mr Raab’s apparent treatment of officials.
Initially, the investigation into Mr Raab, who’s Justice Secretary as well as Deputy Prime Minister, concentrated on a formal complaint from his time as foreign secretary and another from his first spell at the justice department.
This was subsequently widened to include a third relating to Mr Raab’s time at the Department for Exiting the EU in 2018, and now Mr Tolley’s investigation has been expanded again to include another five allegations.
Both Labour and the Liberal Democrats asked why Mr Raab hasn’t been suspended from his ministerial responsibilities while the investigation is ongoing.
They also put pressure on Mr Sunak to confirm he will sack the Deputy PM if the complaints against him are supported.
Revealing the latest claims against Mr Raab, the PM’s official spokesman said that he could confirm that the Prime Minister had now asked the investigator to include five further formal complaints relating to conduct at the Ministry of Justice as part of the continuing investigation and in line with the current terms of reference.
The spokesman confirmed they were five other complaints on top of the three already being investigated.
Labour deputy leader Angela Rayner said that it was yet another indication of how weak Rishi Sunak is as a Prime Minister that despite being conscious of Dominic Raab’s reputation, he selected him as his deputy.
She said the Prime Minister must now say why he’s not been suspended until the outcome of the formal investigation, and make clear that any violation of the Ministerial Code will result in his prompt sacking.
She said the Government must also take immediate measures to ensure there’s a safe working environment for their entourage.
Liberal Democrat deputy leader Daisy Cooper declared Mr Raab’s position was becoming increasingly untenable amid the deluge of allegations, and she said that Rishi Sunak must ask Dominic Raab to step down as Justice Secretary while these complaints are investigated, and confirm he won’t be reappointed if they are upheld.
Dominic Raab doesn’t actually strike me as the bullying type, and is this just the civil servants attempting to get rid of him?
And the definition of bullying these days seems to be doing or saying something that someone doesn’t like, but Dominic Raab should be instructed to step aside while these complaints are being investigated, and of course, Dominic Raab will not be alone, if not him it will be someone else.
What we seem to be overlooking here is that we have a civil service controlled by left-wing values who simply ignore the work that they’re given and don’t go with their ethics.
They’re Public Servants and should do as they’re told, not ignore anything they don’t agree with, but then when they’re told to do the job they’re supposed to, whine they’re being bullied.
Would someone please explain bullying to me, because in today’s wimpy woke world, if you say ‘boo’ then it’s bullying – you just have to feel sorry for the poor sheep.
Dictionaries are now extinct. Google is now the ‘king master’ who re-wrote history and their dictionary definition for bullying in the workplace is as follows:
Anyone who asks you a question you don’t like, you must report it at once so that it can be investigated, leading to your being sacked, but please note, only if Tories are in office.
