Dominic Raab resigns as UK deputy prime minister following the conclusion of an inquiry into bullying allegations
The review into Raab, conducted by independent investigator Adam Tolley, followed eight formal complaints about his behavior while acting as foreign secretary, Brexit secretary and justice secretary. In a resignation letter posted on Twitter on Friday, Raab said he decided to resign after an official inquiry found some of the claims made against him were justified. “I called for the inquiry and undertook to resign, if it made any finding of bullying whatsoever.
I believe it is important to keep my word,” he said. He added that the inquiry into the allegation “dismissed all but two of the claims leveled against me” and “concluded I has not once, in four and a half years, sworn or shouted at anyone, let alone thrown anything or otherwise physically intimidated anyone, nor intentionally sought to belittle anyone.” He also said he believed the report sets a “dangerous precedent in setting the threshold for bullying so low. This is a developing story.
