Dominic Raab has resigned as Justice Secretary and Deputy Prime Minister after an independent investigation ruled he bullied civil service in a string of government departments.
The former Tory leadership contender quit following a day of agonizing by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak over whether to sack him after he received Adam Tolley KC’s report. It included eight formal complaints about his behavior as foreign secretary, Brexit secretary, and during his first stint as justice secretary.
