Dominic Raab should be suspended while bullying allegations are investigated, says former Tory leader

DOMINIC Raab should be suspended while allegations of bullying against him are investigated, a former Tory party leader has said.

Sir Jake Berry said it was ridiculous that the Deputy Prime Minister was still in Cabinet while complaints about 24 officials were being investigated.

He told the BBC: “The way these types of complaints are handled in the private sector is you are suspended while they are investigated.

“It would be very bizarre if you had someone else at work who wasn’t suspended pending this investigation.

“MPs and ministers are not special people, I think they should just be treated like anyone else in their place of work.”

Cabinet ministers told The Sun on Sunday Mr Raab should have quit “ages ago”.

Mr. Raab denies any wrongdoing.
