CALL FOR RAAB TO QUIT AFTER MORE BULLYING CLAIMS

TORY DEPUTY PM DOMINIC RAAB INVESTIGATED OVER FIVE FRESH BULLYING ALLEGATIONS AS PRESSURE MOUNTS BUT HE WILL INEXPLICABLY KEEP HIS CABINET POSITION WHILE ONGOING.

Dominic Raab is being investigated over five new formal complaints about his conduct, in addition to the three allegations already levied against him.

The Prime Minister has asked the lawyer investigating the allegations of bullying against the deputy prime minister to consider the new allegations. Downing Street said the fresh accusations, which takes the total number in Adam Tolley KC’s investigation to eight, relate to Mr Raab’s time at the Ministry of Justice (MoJ).

Pressure is mounting on Dominic Raab to quit the Cabinet after No 10 confirmed he is now being investigated for five further formal complaints over his conduct as a minister.

The Deputy Prime Minister and Justice Secretary is already the subject of an independent probe into three existing allegations of bullying and improper conduct during his ministerial career.

Rishi Sunak has now asked the lawyer investigating the allegations of bullying to consider a total of eight separate complaints against Mr Raab, with Downing St officials stating the Government wanted to see a swift resolution to the inquiry.

The 48-year-old has previously vowed to “thoroughly rebut and refute” the allegations against him, six of which relate to his previous stint running the Ministry of Justice, with the other two made during his time as Brexit Secretary and Foreign Secretary.

But news of five fresh complaints, more than doubling the number of allegations he is facing, will severely dent Mr Raab’s efforts to clear his name. Opposition parties are now demanding he stand down while the investigation takes place.

The Prime Minister’s spokesman declined to discuss the “extensive detail” of what period at the department the new allegations relate to, with Mr Raab currently on his second stint as Justice Secretary.

“I can confirm that the Prime Minister has now asked the investigator to include five further formal complaints relating to conduct at the Ministry of Justice as part of the ongoing investigation and in line with the existing terms of reference,” the official said.

Asked how Mr Raab, the MP for Esher and Walton, can remain in his Cabinet role considering the breadth of the allegations, the spokesman said: “We think it’s right there is an independent process, that the investigator looks into these claims thoroughly before coming to a view.”

He faces allegations that he bullied civil servants, including losing his temper and throwing food across the room. 

The Prime Minister appointed Adam Tolley KC, a commercial and employment law specialist, to look into two initial formal complaints in November, but his inquiry has twice been expanded.

The lawyer needed to be brought in because the role of adviser on ministers’ interests has been empty since Lord Geidt’s resignation in June.

Labour has suggested Mr Raab should face suspension while the allegations are investigated.

A Labour spokesman said: “It’s pretty shocking that no action has been taken against the Justice Secretary given the allegations that there have been.”

The spokesman added: “The idea that Dominic Raab can continue in post with no consequence whilst there are these allegations around, I think most people would find pretty surprising.”

The Lib Dems have also called for Mr Raab to step down while complaints investigated.

Mr Raab returned to Cabinet in October, having been made Justice Secretary and deputy PM by Mr Sunak when he became prime minister.

A Dereliction of Duty

Dereliction of Duty comes in many forms but when you’re a PM a lighter than light squeaky-clean character is important, and our protection is vital.

Covid-19 has brought about many insecurities, uncertainties and that continues as the UK continues to navigate it. I am home for the most part.

I manage walks and occasionally the hairdressers masked up, now that we are back in our lives, but that may set to change. The whole pandemic thing is far from over and the government’s nonplus attitude, is causing stress and chaos.

Living with chaos

I’m not usually at a loss for words, but I am stunned at the incompetence. I am at a loss as what to think, I am in bewilderment. The situation with the UK government is not only worrying and perplexing, but it is also confounded by the loyalty of certain politicians, who are failing to do the right thing.

The situation is so bad, it’s embarrassing, and the debacle continues. In the meantime, we’re living our lives under a cloud. As we go about our lives, we’re living with a virus that can catch us out at any time. The vaccines don’t go far enough to protect and keep us protected, instead they work to do the opposite.

But the other issue with the vaccine, is that if you already don’t have full immunity, with the vaccine you will be less protected taking it. No one has 100% immunity, we all have something which affects our wellness. We’re not all level pegging. With the vaccine, some of us will be less protected from the start.

Vaccine protection

The vaccines should have been formulated so they continue to protect. People who were the first in line to have the vaccine will now be less or not protected at all, therefore will be exposed to the virus. I know someone personally who is high risk and who is on vaccine No. 4.

Also, as we have seen with Novak Djokovic, people not taking the vaccine aren’t saying why, but there is good reason to believe it is because they have doubt, not necessarily because they don’t believe in the vaccine. As the government continue to conquer and divide, people should be given the benefit of the doubt on their decisions.

The way I see it, not only have all our lives irrevocably changed, but lessons are not being learned, we have all changed trying to survive, and it’s not looking like for the better. But for the UK government, this is a dereliction of duty; it’s a mess.

Please remember... face, mask, space.
