You might want to take a seat for this one because it’s a doozy! Dominic Raab, the Deputy Prime Minister of the U.K., has resigned – yes, you heard that correctly, he resigned. Why, you ask? Well, apparently an investigation into his behavior uncovered some rather interesting findings regarding allegations of bullying. Who knew our politicians could be so naughty?
In a letter addressed to the Prime Minister, Raab stated that he “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.” Well, you gotta hand it to him, he’s a man of his word – even if it means giving up a fancy title and a prestigious position.
And who launched this investigation into Raab’s behavior, you might ask? None other than Rishi Sunak, the British Prime Minister himself. It seems no one is safe when it comes to these investigations, not even the Deputy Prime Minister. In November, eight formal complaints were lodged against Raab by at least 24 staff members during his tenure as justice minister, foreign minister, and Brexit minister.
In a statement released on Friday, Sunak expressed his “great sadness” at accepting Raab’s resignation, but noted some “shortcomings in the historic process that have negatively affected everyone involved.” Oh, dear, let’s not forget the poor investigation process. It seems like even the inquiry wasn’t immune to some critical feedback.
But wait, there’s more. The report uncovering Raab’s alleged bullying behavior was released shortly after his resignation. We can only imagine the juicy details that were uncovered during the investigation. Can you say drama llama?
Anyway, to fill the void left by Raab’s resignation, Oliver Dowden will step up as the new Deputy Prime Minister, with Alex Chalk taking on the role of Justice Secretary. It seems like there’s never a dull moment in the world of politics, doesn’t it?
