Dominic Raab resigns as UK deputy prime minister following the conclusion of an inquiry into bullying allegations
In a resignation letter posted on Twitter on Friday, Dominic Raab said he decided to resign as deputy prime minister and justice secretary after an official inquiry found some of the claims made against him were justified. The review into Raab, conducted by independent investigator Adam Tolley, followed eight formal complaints about his behavior while acting as foreign secretary, Brexit secretary and justice secretary.
Resignation could hurt Sunak Raab’s resignation is a blow for Sunak who, despite coming from the right of the Conservative party himself, has been painted as softer than his predecessors Liz Truss and Johnson. The Johnson comparison is particularly pertinent as Sunak served as his Chancellor of the Exchequer during the Covid pandemic, only to offer his resignation as scandals engulfed the then-prime minister.
