    Raab said he would resign if his behaviour was found to be bullying. His behaviour was found to be unacceptable, and yet he took a long time to hand in his letter of resignation.
    I'm not sure that suggests that he accepted the findings.

      Far from it. Raab remains unapologetic and unrepentant. Raab had both openly and implicitly accused the civil servants of being snowflakes, yet he whines about his predicament, refused to apologise, blame and scapegoat everyone else but himself for his own karma, cannot stand any criticism against him, and generally act like a brat throwing a tantrum. I can't help but wonder who is the REAL snowflake here.

    He didn't resign and he didn't accept anything. HE WAS SACKED.
    Yes, I do understand that he submitted a letter of resignation to Sunak and that Sunak hasn't said he was sacked. But that was almost a full day after the report was given to Sunak and Raab. Raab spent all of the intervening time fighting to hold on to his post. Sunak declined to stand by him.

    This video is a perfect example of the politicians' party political clubs. Raab is the epitome of what is wrong in Westminster; he is a paid up member of the 'society of the blind fighting the blind' and he needed to go whatever the route. Hague's half hearted attempt to defend his friend is so pathetic, it makes me despair of the whole sorry lot of them.
    I don't know what the answer is, but wholesale change is needed desperately, before the country really does drop to its knees.

    Having worked in the civil service, I never encountered anyone of any quality. Ones I knew were just marking time until pension day at 60. I suspect any kind of energetic with any goals boss would find it deeply frustrating.
    I witnessed repeated long-term sick on full pay at the drop of the hat followed by occy health and light duties, more sick leave, occy health, light dutes, rinse and repeat. If you were in the union it's a cushy job for life... Bumped into a former colleague yesterday and he says he doesn't have enough work most days and gets a bit bored!

      Having worked with civil servants in the DTp and the MoD I sympathise with Raab that the very idea of a work ethic is seen as bullying in the civil service as evidence by the lady interviewee. Usual slanted Channel 4 interview. Going back to the days of Tony Benn in the 70s he complained that civil servants deliberatly resisted efforts of the government to introduce legislation. The civil service are making this country ungovernable.

    Raab's argument, that it's a matter of interpretation as to whether his management "style" was bullying, does not stand up. He was taken aside by senior public servants and told his behaviour was distressing members of his staff and he chose not to change. So, he knew how others were interpreting his behaviour and he shouldn't now pretend to be surprised by the findings of the inquiry.

It is only right and proper that we move this motion at the earliest convenience because that is what the British people want. They all told me so yesterday.

    I don’t believe his comments made after his resignation have been honourable at all. It gives the impression that he was reluctant to resign and in the face of overwhelming evidence against him he still doesn’t regard himself as a bully and has no remorse and no intention of apologising for his past conduct. He needs to consider then how it is that so many complaints were made about him.

    Eh? The labour politician actually said that “we have all got things to learn” because the civil service taught her that the hours she put in “were intimidating to them”. Seriously? If her - somewhat vain - anecdote is to be believed, then it tells me Dominic Raab most definitely has a point. This is what the once impressive civil service has now descended to; complaining that hard working politicians make them feel bad about themselves! And this is what Labour politicians have come to, literally believing that if hard work intimidates people you should back off to spare their feelings.

    • @KebabMusicLtd

      You must have been watching a different video to me. Diane Hayter was never a Member of Parliament so she is not a politician. She has never represented any constituency or seat but she is a member of the House of Lords. In much the same way that the Tories gave Evgeny Lebedev a peerage, labour gave her one.
      I don’t see where she suggested that anyone back off doing ‘hard work’ but in reality, Dominic Raab remained on a beach sunning himself whilst Kabul fell, although he did manage to get a lot of dogs repatriated. Hard work may not be the first phrase that comes to mind when discussing the career of Dominic Raab. He spent a couple of months in each of the Government Departments he held yet he has received complaints from right across Whitehall. How do you explain that?

    If Tory Boris Johnson was still there he probably would have binned the report like he did with the report on Priti Patel by the ethics advisor Sir Alex Allan that said that Priti Patel broke the ministerial code.
    Sir Alex Allan said the home secretary's conduct "amounted to behaviour that can be discribed as bullying"
    After Boris Johnson ignored the report Priti Patel didn't resign and the ethics advisor Sir Alex Allan resigned.
    A civil servant Sir Philip Rutnam received £340,000 plus legal costs at an employment tribunal in a settlement after he resigned because of the bullying.
