This week The Independent revealed further allegations concerning an “abusive attack” Mr Raab is said to have made on leading anti-Brexit campaigner Gina Miller, as well as accusations of racial insensitivity towards comedian Nish Kumar. Regarding Ms Miller’s claims, a spokesperson for the deputy prime minister said Mr Raab “rejects the description and characterisation” she gave of him. On the claims of bullying, Mr Raab previously told MPs at Prime Minister’s Questions in November that he was “confident that I have behaved professionally throughout”.
