Dominic Raab has resigned after allegations of bullying. The British Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Justice reacted to the results of an investigative report into his actions as a minister. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak ordered the investigation after allegations from former Raab associates came to light.
In a letter of resignation posted on Twitter on Friday, Raab stressed that he accepts the outcome of the report but continues to deny the allegations of bullying. The report was handed over to Sunak on Thursday. The content has not yet been made public.
Of several allegations, only two were recognized as well founded, Raab writes. However, the reviewer found “not once in four and a half years have I insulted or yelled at, thrown objects or otherwise physically intimidated or deliberately humiliated anyone.”
Raab does not say which allegations have been confirmed. He thinks the confirmations are wrong. Defining bullying in such a low-threshold setting sets a dangerous precedent, he writes. However, he apologizes for “any unintentional stress or insult I have brought to the Department of Justice through pacing, standards or challenges,” the ex-minister continued. (SDA/no)
