Dominic Raab has resigned as UK justice secretary and deputy prime minister after an inquiry into allegations of bullying.
The five-month probe, by a senior lawyer, was set up by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak after complaints about Mr Raab’s behaviour as a minister.
In a letter to Mr Sunak, he said he would resign if the inquiry “made any finding of bullying whatsoever”.
He said the inquiry “dismissed all but two of the claims levelled against me”.
Mr Raab said two findings that went against him were “flawed” and “set a dangerous precedent for the conduct of good government”.
The report on the inquiry by senior lawyer Adam Tolley KC is yet to be published by the government.
