With this, the total complaints being investigated against him have totaled eight. All these eight complaints are being investigated by senior lawyer Adam Tolley KC.

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said that he is shocked at the fact that no action had been taken against Raab. He also called for him to be suspended. On the other hand, a source close to Raab said: "There is zero tolerance for bullying across the civil service. The Deputy Prime Minister leads a professional department, driving forward major reforms, where civil servants are valued and the level of ambition is high."




Some are questioning PM Rishi Sunak for his decision to retain him in the cabinet. Earlier, when Liz Truss had become the PM, he was sacked from his positions. When asked about why Raab is still holding his post, The prime minister’s official spokesperson replied, "We think it’s right that there’s an independent process and the investigator looks into these claims thoroughly before coming to view." It is reported that the Prime Minister’s Office wants this independent investigation to be completed 'swiftly'.

Lawyer Adam Tolley will present his investigation report to PM Rishi Sunak, who will then take the final decision on whether the Justice Secretary and Deputy Prime Minister be sacked from his post.
