Angela Rayner responding to reports of further formal complaints about Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab

Angela Rayner MP, Labour’s Deputy Leader, responding to reports of further formal complaints about Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab, said:

"It is yet another sign of how weak Rishi Sunak is as a Prime Minister that despite being aware of Dominic Raab’s reputation, he appointed him as his Deputy.

"The Prime Minister must now say why he has not been suspended until the outcome of the formal investigation, and make clear that any breach of the Ministerial Code will result in his immediate sacking. The Government must also take immediate steps to ensure there is a safe working environment for their staff."
