The office was small and the results anonymous. We can’t know from the leak who was alleged to be bullying/harassing colleagues

But the stench around Raab is growing - and his position in Government seems increasingly untenable

@gem_abbott I worry that they’re going to just keep him in office purely to make a point, given that Sunak recently said he doesn’t want to feel like the media have the ability to push for a sacking by piling pressure on them.

@gem_abbott from the moment I started paying proper attention Raab has consistently failed to be anything but incompetent, dishonest and self serving. Let’s go his support for prorogation, his comments about the importance of Dover and Calais and his defences of the indefensible Johnson. There is not a single member of this Government who are fit to be in Government. #GeneralElectionNOW

@gem_abbott Raab losing his seat at the next election is going to be the Portillo moment. I'm staying up for it 🍷

@gem_abbott with all these cases of ministers bullying and other allegations in Parliament what are the common factors.
Is it a thirst for power that meets a culture in Parliament where bullying is considered normal and acceptable.
Or does it come from privilege nurtured through public schools and Oxbridge education?
We should have outsiders investigate because it makes for toxic governance which is bad for everyone.

@gem_abbott

This truly is astonishing. In any other business/professional organisation heads would roll if this type of culture existed. Why do we allow this government to be different
