Read our privacy policy Dominic Raab has resigned from Rishi Sunak’s government after an inquiry upheld bullying complaints against him. The deputy prime minister said he would abide by his promise to quit if the inquiry found against him – but was highly critical of the findings. In his resignation letter he said the conclusions of the inquiry were “flawed” and that it set a “low” threshold for bullying and a “dangerous precedent”. Second, Ministers must be able to give direct critical feedback on briefings and submissions to senior officials, in order to set the standards and drive the reform the public expect of us.
