Jacob Rees-Mogg has been condemned for "trivialising bullying" by warning against being "too snowflakey" over complaints against Government ministers.
The top Tory mounted a desperate defence of under-fire Justice Secretary Dominic Raab who is being investigated over a string of bullying claims - which he denies - that reportedly involve at least 24 civil servants.
Rishi Sunak tasked lawyer Adam Tolley KC to launch a probe, which is looking at eight formal complaints during Mr Raab’s stints at the Ministry of Justice, the Foreign Office and the now-defunct Department for Exiting the EU.
