what we have got here is because we had the story about nadhim zahawi, the former conservative partyeing sacked at the weekend, there has been a tilt in the new focus towards the other ongoing ticking time bomb in human resources sense for the government because this inquiry is led by a seniorjudge into dominic raab and allegations of bullying which we should emphasise he denies. and because the process is ongoing and evidence is being gathered by this kc, as we now call senior lawyers, very few people are willing to talk publicly but many are talking privately to journalists and others about their experiences working for — with dominic raab, some positive and some negative. that is what is generating quite a bit of attention. it could be a long way off before we get this process concluding because the process of assembling the testimony and a report being written and it going to the prime minister could take some time, and i suspect much of it could be redacted, the old black marker pen could go through it before it sees the light of day. that is where we are. speaking to people, it

nadhim zahawi.ang over questions about what precisely prime minister knew and when. but the focus is now really all the deputy prime minister. why that even more tncky minister. why that even more tricky would suggest for rishi sunak than the allegations surrounding the zahawi simply because dominic raab is incredibly close to the prime minister. he's the deputy prime minister. he's the deputy prime minister. he's the deputy prime minister. he was part the leadership team that was trying to get rishi sunak elected last summer and these allegations are being swirling for months and months and months. when do we expect this investigation to wrap up? we simply do not know. how long's a piece of string? i, i say that it seems that almost we look like we're getting to the end that new allegations to bubble up that more people come forward and that makes very, very tricky indeed . dominic raab very tricky indeed. dominic raab denies these allegations . in denies these allegations. in fact, emails today ,
