Dominic Raab: Timeline of the Deputy Prime Minister's political career.
Dominic Raab has resigned as deputy prime minister after a damaging report into claims he bullied civil servants was finally published.

The findings of Adam Tolley KC’s independent probe in the bullying claims landed on the PM’s desk on Thursday morning, but the results were not initially revealed.

 
 

Mr Raab has denied allegations of bullying – insisting that he believes “heart and soul” that he is not a bully.

In a punchy resignation letter he said he felt “duty bound” to accept the outcome of the inquiry.

But he also came out fighting, saying the independent investigation had dismissed “all but two” allegations against him. The findings were “flawed” and set a dangerous precendent for “good government”, he added, by setting the threshold for bullying “so low”.

Do you not think that allegations of ministers behaving inappropriately or abusing their positions should be investigated?

Not in all cases if his doing a good job. 

When I was a ganger in the roofing industry if you didn't pull your weight I would in no uncertain terms say to you work like the others or get ell out of it, so maybe I was a bully.

Bullying, aaaaaaah, the poor things, but on the other hand, It's great to read that the SNP, at last, has been shown to be dodgy and are being investigated...:intheclub:

Well, I reckon they would love to move against Suella Braverman. Trouble is she is 1) a woman and 2) from a " minority background" , so they will have to be careful to avoid compromising their own positions on such matters.

 

Raab was a straight white man so no problems there, Jewish too which of course was a bit of a bonus!

He wasn’t doing a good job, which is why he felt the need to bully his subordinates.

You obviously haven't read the report.

 

Instead, as usual, you jump on the anti government band wagon. In fact, so much so I guess you are driving. ????????

His father was Jewish - Czechoslovakia as a child when the NAZIS started closing in.

 

He is not "observant" but...

 

Braverman is a Buddhist - again I don't know how observant but she is not Muslim so her ethnicity will be a weak protection.

 

That creature who spent months shouting down a loudspeaker in Parliament Square about Brexit has been posting Photoshop pictures of her standing in triumph outside the gates of Auschwitz all over the internet. It's coming down the line.

The best argument the Tories have for getting rid of Braverman is she’s setting up the Election talk track for the extremists in ‘Reform UK’ and other far right parties that will take votes from the Tories.
