Should Dominic Raab resign over bullying allegations? Vote in our poll

Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab is facing bullying complaints from at least 24 civil servants, it has been reported – and we want to know what you think.

Downing Street insisted that the number of formal allegations against Mr Raab remained at eight, but could not rule out that each complaint includes multiple accusers.

According to The Guardian, the claims actually involve a total of at least two dozen people – possibly as many as 30.

It has been reported that the former Justice Secretary “belittled and demeaned” the civil servants and was “very rude and aggressive” on multiple occasions.

Other alleged incidents include people being physically sick before meetings, regularly being in tears and being left feeling suicidal due to his behaviour.

Officials working for Mr Raab accused him of creating a “climate of fear” in the Ministry of Justice.

Rishi Sunak has tasked lawyer Adam Tolley KC with looking into incidents during Mr Raab’s stints as Justice Secretary, foreign secretary and Brexit secretary.

The deputy PM was ousted from the department when Liz Truss became PM, but he returned just seven weeks later when Mr Sunak entered Number 10.

Mr Sunak promised a government of “integrity, professionalism and accountability at every level”, but repeated sleaze scandals have called this into question.
