justine, what do you think about these allegations against dominic raab?tion secretary, bullying is like the worst thing! when you were talking about the human resources piece of it, i was going back to saying i was never a whip, but i used to say they were like the human resources department, with the human bit taken out! but i think it's interesting because, in a weird way, what i am saying is there probably is not enough focus on that aspect of people in politics, and obviously it isjust another thing that this government does not need — a sort of slow drip, drip, drip of stories about people in cabinet and whether they are fit to be in those roles. and i am like everyone else, i don't really know the ins and outs of the dominic raab affair and what has gone on and i do feel like the inquiry is taking a long time, and the longer it takes, the worse it is. what should rishi sunak do? on the one the politically expedient thing might be to fire dominic raab because this is a problem and it would sort things out, irrespective of the allegations, and he deni

as you say, there is an ongoing inquiry into whether dominic raab bullied various civil servants whenthree different government departments. now that inquiry is still ongoing, but the key thing that it is trying to determine is, was dominic raab a difficult boss, an abrasive character to work with, or was he a bully? and did the impact of any of his behaviour have sort of damage on people that he worked with? so that is what it is trying to outline. today he was pretty clear that while he did say earlier to sky news that he would resign if the inquiry did find him guilty of bullying, he was pretty adamant that he himself does not see himself as a bully. in terms of working style, falling short of any of the impropriety you refer to — look, of course, we learn lessons as we go, and that's part of the relationship with civil servants, but i'm confident that i've behaved professionally throughout. and as i say, i think actually the vast lion's share of the time, the vast majority of cases and the time we spend together, civil servants and ministers work very effectively together. so ther

dominic raab simply saying, you've got to do work better. this work isn't enough. please do this work again. this work isn't enough. please do this work again . that seemed do this work again. that seemed to be the smoking gun in the papers over the weekend. well yes, i think there are plenty of people in the private who will have read that report in the sunday times yesterday about dominic behaviour and thought that actions which that the sort of actions which dominic raab had committed , if dominic raab had committed, if we can call it committed , is are we can call it committed, is are just normal for a demanding boss. that's it. seen this big investigative and what it came to down was some slightly sort of idiosyncratic things from dominic, for example. he only works in analogue, so everything has to be on paper. and so he'll go into a meeting, doesn't have the piece of paper that he wants and asks a junior civil servant to get the piece of paper rather than having. it makes everyone while the civil servant and while the civil servant goes and gets mean, slight

dominic raab very tricky indeed. dominic raab denies these allegations .mails today , as keir fact, emails today, as keir starmer was asking questions that they were not true, he he kept not true to but these allegations and these questions will persist . and you get a will persist. and you get a sense, don't you and this is always prime minister talk about due process of course he will and we have to accept people are innocent proven guilty but you would not be surprised if find ourselves here in a in a week's time in two weeks time talking about cabinet about another cabinet resignation. shall wait resignation. indeed shall wait for that occasion. but durham the moment thank you for that an interesting that your assessment that one old school draw shared by our mps sir james kelly. ma'am we, thank you very much indeed for your time. and of course we shall await the next session next week . coming up session next week. coming up here on gb news live interest rate decision tomorrow, what can we expect we'll be getting liam and his expert views on that. fir

and all, dominic raab, and second of all, dominic raab, unlike nadhim zahawi, is actually very very totually very very close to rishi sunak . actually very very close to rishi sunak. he was someone who headed up his leadership campaign summer. clearly campaign last summer. clearly he's deputy prime minister, he's the deputy prime minister, one the most senior ministers one of the most senior ministers within add to within government. then add to that curran disquiet that that the curran disquiet within the conservative party has not gone away in the sense that there are still a lot of conservatives who believe that taxation is too to them and taxation is too high to them and it should cut try and it should be cut to try and boost growth . and this is all boost growth. and this is all leading into really difficult opinion polls for rishi sunak have local elections in may. they could be incredibly difficult the conservative difficult. the conservative party, sunak not turned party, rishi sunak not turned around any of those poll deficits. the conservatives saying if anything they are inc

well, the dominic raab question?rts into a nadhim zahawi returning so quickly. he's been able to say , quickly. he's been able to say, look, i follow process. i'm the kind of that does things by the book. i'm not going to prejudge any of these inquiries. and so when it comes to the adam tolley casey inquiry into the behaviour of dominic raab, rishi sunak will be able to say up until the point it concludes, i am doing by the book, i'm following that and it would be very, very surprising if he did follow the recommendations of that report. okay, harwood, as always, okay, tom harwood, as always, thank you. later today, the bank of england is predicted deliver its 10th interest rate rise in a row, bringing it to an expected 4. if that happens, the move will be a blow to the already under—pressure housing market. let's get the latest from our london reporter lisa hartl on this. lisa what are estate agents saying about it ? hello. agents saying about it? hello. yes well, financial markets are predicting the bank of england

i think problem he's going to have with dominic raab how much with dominic raab is how much did knowlying did he know about the bullying when became prime minister when he became prime minister all of is becoming a story all of this is becoming a story in the trouble in in itself. the trouble in politics not altogether politics is not altogether whether you are right or wrong. a or innocent is the a guilty or innocent is the amount time stays. as you amount of time stays. as you know, a top news item. and i think this is a problem that dominic raab and the prime minister are facing at the moment. right. mean, do you think dominic raab should i mean is i've heard a lot of reports that he this tough character. you obviously said so and that doesn't mean he's done wrong. you can be tough . you can be you can be tough. you can be straight talking and you can be direct. but that doesn't necessarily mean you are a bully. there have been bully. but there have been an awful lot complaints now . and awful lot 24 complaints now. and do you think he can and should this ? well, i mean, i think i

these allegations revolving around dominic raab have been around dominic raab have been around for ahis this morning in the end of may, a lot of libel case, but more than a decade ago, there were allegations around bullying around dominic raab when he was an mp. now he's always denied this. as i say , always denied this. as i say, obviously the government are looking into evidence is an independent inquiry taking place into it and it's difficult to work this out. you listen to some people who've worked with the justice secretary, deputy prime in his various guises in government is someone who's of course been brexit in the past. he's also been at the foreign secretary , and they say that, secretary, and they say that, yes , it was very difficult that yes, it was very difficult that they did see bullying activity, that was someone who was not that it was someone who was not very pleasant to work with you talk to others who say, yes, he may well have been forced at times, but certainly none of the behaviour they viewed would verge on bullying and you get these conflicting accounts and

this is dominic raab.his was one of the only people in boris johnson's cabinet who actually backed rishi sunak to become the prime minister. in the first response. as of last year, this is what his loyalties political allies, deputy prime minister , allies, deputy prime minister, minister of justice, all of these allegations were already pubuc these allegations were already public knowledge when rishi sunak appointed him to these positions. so it's a very difficult position of the prime minister to be in. but he is, as i was saying , minister to be in. but he is, as i was saying, he he is demonstrating albie and he is demonstrating albie and he is demonstrating that he's being loyal to him. but i mean, this this investigation has been going on for months. why does it take so long? i know there are 24 accusations against him . i 24 accusations against him. i mean , let's work this out. how mean, let's work this out. how long does it take this qc to look into those accusations? is he actually doing it as a f

i think problem he's going to have with dominic raab how much with dominic raab is how much did knowlying did he know about the bullying when became prime minister when he became prime minister all of is becoming a story all of this is becoming a story in the trouble in in itself. the trouble in politics not altogether politics is not altogether whether you are right or wrong. a or innocent is the a guilty or innocent is the amount time stays. as you amount of time stays. as you know, a top news item. and i think this is a problem that dominic raab and the prime minister are facing at the moment. right. mean, do you think dominic raab should i mean is i've heard a lot of reports that he this tough character. you obviously said so and that doesn't mean he's done wrong. you can be tough . you can be you can be tough. you can be straight talking and you can be direct. but that doesn't necessarily mean you are a bully. there have been bully. but there have been an awful lot complaints now . and awful lot 24 complaints now. and do you think he can and should this ? well, i mean, i think i

let's talk dominic raab, shall we?y in defence of himself right now because every the day feels like there is another allegation against him, they've not yet succeeded though have they, getting him out. it's all about the fact that he is saying that he has high standards. he believes he behaved professionally at all times. and the suggestion is therefore that perhaps he's not a bully boss, just someone that wants things donein just someone that wants things done in a certain way. alex and the people with the faults, perhaps, are those that can't handle demands of high standards. your thoughts? well i declare an interest in that. i've done rob for a long time, and i worked a bit with him. i would say he's someone who has demanding high standards and expect , which expect results, which is precisely you want in an precisely what you want in an important government department. some of the examples that have been so—called bullying been given of so—called bullying in the stories absolutely in the stories just absolutely la

ever since its inquiry into dominic raab's - still being questioned? times. he has not given many interviews in that time, perhaps for obvious reasons, but as you saw, when questioned he has defended himself and raised questions about some of the anonymous accounts that have appeared in media reports about his behaviour. several of his fellow mps have also defended him publicly as well but there are continues to be a stream of reports in various parts of the media with a anonymous testimony accusing him of bullying, which he denies. although this was not a planned intervention, his public comments addressing the investigation today have to further calls for him to be suspended while that investigation takes place. labour, the liberal democrats at the fta union representing civil servants have all called for that, but the prime minister says it is right the way we should take its course but he will not fail to take action if required —— it says it is right the inquiry should take its course. hogwarts legacy, a big budget video game set in the harry pott

perhaps more controversy is dominic raab staying in place to.forced into it if dominic raab has to go regarding the investigation that still continues. we saw the departure of nadim zahawi after the investigation which meant there have to be a new party chairman important. and someone has been appointed for that role. interestingly, he has a new deputy. the anderson who was voted for the first time in the so—called redwall in the east midlands. he is a controversial character. he has been questioned for a variety of issues. he someone who is a bit of a rabble—rouser as opposed to encourage some of the grassroots to rally around when the parties currently languishing in the post. thank you in. including multiple rapes and sexual assaults. thejudge at including multiple rapes and sexual assaults. the judge at silver crown court said david character had used hisjob to take court said david character had used his job to take monstrous advantage of women over 17 years. the national chair of the police federation is with us now. hello to use thanks fo

i think it's very difficult to see how dominic raab is going to stay in position.very important. he was a key dunng very important. he was a key during the leadership campaign the summer when everyone was coming out for. liz truss when it looked certain that liz truss would be the next prime minister and people were coming out in support liz probably partly support. liz probably partly because they were thinking about their own careers. dominic raab stood behind rishi sunak stood firm behind rishi sunak and he was very, very , he said, and he was very, very, he said, go with liz truss. family economics would be like putting on a suicide vest. and of course things did and very badly and very quickly they so he has a very quickly they so he has a very loyal supporter and very key ally, whereas nadhim zahawi there was no particular special bond, he'd supported liz hopkins , always great to deliver a exactly. yeah, exactly. but this will be very difficult for the prime minister, but it's just hard to see. dominic raab is adamant he's done nothing wrong, but so many hav

dominic raab, who is of course insisting that he has done absolutely nothing wrong .of course it's taking wrong. but of course it's taking all the oxygen out of rishi sunak's trying to get positive messages across about what the government is doing . and a lot government is doing. and a lot of it is being lost because. this ongoing row about standards and sleaze and course. rishi sunak promised to turn a new leaf. you mentioned unnamed source with , his or her for source with, his or her for pennies . a name source is david pennies. a name source is david frost writing a column today and it's a direct dig at rishi sunak for being too reliant upon ex—pm advisers and senior advisers, including quite specifically simon case, the cabinet? yes. simon case, the cabinet? yes. simon is position i would say it is looking in some doubt although the prime minister's spokesman on friday said absolutely the prime minister complete confidence in him but certainly it looks like the cabinet secretary simon case was told months before dominic raab was appointed by sunak that there wer

the big surprises is that don't know what the future of dominic raabis know what the future of dominic raabs going to be until after the investigation is completed and many tory mps think that probably this kind reshuffle should have been postponed until that was actually sorted out. but the basic point of all these , when you start shifting around cabinet departments is not just about changing the letter heads. one of the points about it is to try and reflect on government priorities. so, for instance, department of health and social care added because the government saw social care as being really important . i think being really important. i think it's interesting. we have a department of energy security as opposed to just plain energy because obviously we've we've learned from the ukraine war how important security is and also the idea of actually putting more emphasis on science. that's that's probably quite, quite a good thing. so it was something was done many years ago . i mean, was done many years ago. i mean, it's a repeat, if you like , of it's a repeat, if you like, of what happ

the uk's deputy prime minister dominic raab says a new deal on the northern ireland protocol could be days, and begun to outline what it might look like. mr raab indicated that politicians in northern ireland would have a say over any new eu rules which affect them. he also suggested checks on goods passing between britain and northern ireland could be intelligence led, rather than the need to check everything. here's our political correspondent ione wells. it is full steam ahead to get a new deal between the uk and the eu about how trade in northern ireland will work. ministers suggest it will remove checks on goods that will stay here in northern ireland and not go on to the republic of ireland. and that northern irish politicians will get more of a say on future eu laws that apply to the nation. the deputy prime minister, dominic raab, said these things will resolve issues with the existing deal, but dodged whether mps will definitely get a vote on a new one. if there is a deal, can you confirm to your colleagues and also our viewers that mps will have a say, there will be a proper

and the deputy prime minister dominic raab, who's being investigated over bullying claims, has told thes covering his time at three different government departments. i'm not going to comment on the anonymous reports in the media. my experience is that they are mostly incorrect, i'm confident i behaved professionally at all times and of course i called for an inquiry and i will respect it. let's take a look at some of the day's other top stories. thousands of ambulance workers, including call centre and control room staff, have been taking industrial action in england. the strike by members of unison, has been in london, yorkshire, the south west, the north east and the north west. staff at 150 universities across the uk from the university and college union are also continuing their industrial action in their row over pay, conditions and pension cuts. the rmt union has rejected the latest pay offers from network rail and train operators in an attempt to end a long running dispute over pay and working conditions. the rmt boss mick lynch described the offers as "dreadful", but the rail de

i can't wait for dominic raab.w, for well, here comes, you know, for the age of the times. okay, number ten was warned of dominic raab sort of termed issues before he was actually promoted to deputy. okay. so i hope got your earplugs. you what i find extraordinary is that a man is negligible in terms of his quality of dominic raab has become deputy prime minister. he never should have done. he then becomes foreign secretary and he'd rather stay on a beach and go and do his job. but worse than that . look, i'm no saint. i than that. look, i'm no saint. i admit it . well done. i did 11 admit it. well done. i did 11 years as a minister. the best of my knowledge and belief . no my knowledge and belief. no civil servant ever complained about me. and in fact, i liked my civil servants. i do enjoy meeting with. we had great times together. the fact that even the permanent secretary at the foreign office apparently has given chris the then perm six given chris the then perm six give coruscating evidence against him. the ma

on this subject i would only rule out the prime insert being aware of formal complaints about dominic raabut mr raab's behaviour. the spokesperson would say the usual processes were followed in response to that. so, as this investigation continues the prime minister clearly is not, at this stage at least, going to bow to the pressure for him to suspend mr raab from his post while this continues. that is a cause that labour has made and another call from the head of the fda union presented syphilis servants. they said if this were the official in white or they would have to stand aside. whether dominic rob besides us step aside while this process plays out we will have to see, but it certainly doesn't look like he is here to do that at the moment. he hasn't denied the allegations against him but he will refute and rebut all the claims against him and claims he has made professional throughout. two men have been sentenced to life in prison for a plot to steal a woman. her body was found two men, mohamed el abboud and kusai al—jundi, have been sentenced to life in prison with a minimum of 35
