the prime minister rishi sunak said it was right for - rishi sunak said it was right for him to resigne wrong? i would say that perhaps dominic raab shouldn't have resigned and perhaps the prime minister is taking some time to mull this decision and it looks like dominic raab has made the decision for him. i think rishi sunak was generally torn and clear that two allegations, or whatever validity have been upheld by the investigation, it suggests that bullying was going on. but as i say, bullying was going on. but as i say, bullying seems to be in the eye of the beholder so rishi sunak didn't want to loose debris prime minister, but raab's forces and for him. i don't think dominic raab should have resigned. the don't think dominic raab should have resiuned. , ., don't think dominic raab should have resiuned. ,., w resigned. the report said he acted in a manner— resigned. the report said he acted in a manner which _ resigned. the report said he acted in a manner which is _ in a manner which is intimidating. you don't care? again, intimidation seems to be in the eye of the beholder and f

aubrey: there is a lot weighing on rishi sunak's mind. stuck between a rock and a hard place, he either takes the decision to tell his deputy prime minister to resign, which we do not believe dominic raab wants to do. he says he does not think he has done anything wrong, has not broken the ministerial code. rishi sunak could try to sack him, but that opens up a big can of worms, and that's a difficult -- end to the conservative party problems over the last few weeks. or he chooses to stick by raab and is facing a bunch of disgruntled civil servants. we have seen some who put complaints into night and they say they are losing faith in the complaints system. no easy options for the prime minister, and downing street is not saying whether the report will come tomorrow, friday, or the end of the weekend. christian: what do you make of the way this has been handled? he demanded an independent review, but was allowed to stay in post for the 60 days -- 106 today's taken to complete it. it would be bizarre if an allegation was made in any other w
