UK Deputy PM Dominic Raab faces independent inquiry into bullying allegations against him

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, consented to have an impartial investigator look into allegations of bullying levelled against Dominic Raab after his deputy prime minister requested that an investigation be conducted into two official complaints that had been filed against him.

At a recent prime minister's question, Dominic Raab said he had always acted correctly with colleagues, despite many complaints from officials from his cabinet, as documented by the Guardian and others. Raab said he would keep his current positions as deputy prime minister and justice secretary throughout the transition.

No. 10 has yet to choose a successor for Lord Christopher Geidt, who resigned as an independent counsellor on ministerial standards in June. While out on business, Sunak promised to appoint a specific individual to investigate the G20 summit in Bali.




In a related development, Dominic Raab disclosed to legislators that he had been the subject of an allegation before his election that had been settled under a nondisclosure agreement.

The first complaint to the Ministry of Justice was reportedly made this year in the spring, but the persons have chosen to resubmit it in light of the most recent allegations, as reported by the Guardian.

Civil Service World reported on Tuesday that many anonymous sources indicated that after Raab declared at a recent all-staff meeting at the Ministry of Justice that he had a zero-tolerance policy for bullying, some employees began to suspect that he was "gaslighting" them.
