Good morning. An astonishingly long article by Liz Truss – with her first post-premiership interview coming later on Monday - is probably the most immediate irritant for Downing Street today, but once No 10 is done picking the bones out of that, they have another serious problem on their plate that just won’t go away: the future of the justice secretary and deputy prime minister, Dominic Raab.
Stories about Raab’s alleged bullying of government officials have been rumbling on for months – and they simply keep coming. After a week of additional allegations, the Sunday Telegraph reported yesterday that an unnamed serving cabinet minister now felt that his position had become untenable. “Raab has got to go,” they said, adding that they had “heard too much” from civil servants claiming “that he’s an absolute shit”.
