Dominic Raab’s refusal to speak to Foreign Office staff he considered “time-wasters” allegedly led to delays during the Afghanistan evacuation in 2021. The then foreign secretary has previously been heavily criticised for his actions during the drive to get people out of the country as the Taliban moved in.
Earlier this week it was announced that the embattled deputy prime minister is to be investigated after two formal complaints were made about his alleged behaviour. The complaints relate to his time at the Foreign Office and his first stint at the Ministry of Justice (MoJ), where he was reinstalled as secretary of state by Rishi Sunak last month.
