DOWNING Street was reportedly told of written complaints against deputy prime minister Dominic Raab when Rishi Sunak brought him back into government.
According to The Sunday Times, multiple sources claimed that civil servants working in the Cabinet Office’s propriety and ethics team (Pet) informed No 10 two months ago, as Sunak was appointing his cabinet, of the complaints relating to Raab’s conduct towards staff.
Although these weren’t technically formal complaints, the officials are also said to have made clear that several had been made in writing.
