UK Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab has resigned after an independent investigation into complaints that he bullied civil servants. 9News
Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab resigned on Friday after an independent investigation found he bullied civil servants, though he criticised the report as "flawed".received findings into eight formal complaints that Raab, who is also justice secretary, had been abusive toward staff members during a previous stint in that office and while serving as Britain's foreign secretary and Brexit secretary.
If he fired Raab, he would open himself to criticism for hiring him in the first place; if he kept him in the job, he would be criticised for failing to follow through on his promise to restore integrity to the Conservative government. Raab was elected to Parliament in 2010 and unsuccessfully sought to become Conservative Party leader in 2019 before throwing his support behind Boris Johnson. Appointed deputy prime minister under Johnson, he briefly took charge of the government when Johnson was hospitalised with COVID-19 in April 2020.
