Raab should step down while complaints investigated

EMBARGO: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Responding to the news that five further complaints about Dominic Raab's behaviour are being investigated, Liberal Democrat Deputy Leader Daisy Cooper said:

"The trickle of allegations about Dominic Raab has turned into a flood and his position is becoming increasingly untenable.

"Rishi Sunak must ask Raab to step down as Justice Secretary while these complaints are investigated, and confirm he won't be reappointed if they are upheld.

"Anything less would make a mockery of Sunak's claim that he would govern with integrity. It can't be one rule for Conservative ministers and another for everyone else."
