DOMINIC RAAB should stop making public statements about an investigation into his conduct following reports he bullied staff, senior civil servant union FDA demanded today.

As the “protagonist” in the probe, the Deputy Prime Minister should refrain from commenting until the process is over, general secretary Dave Penman argued. 

The Esher and Walton MP, who is also Justice Secretary, has given interviews defending himself against the claims, telling the BBC: “I’m confident I have behaved professionally at all times.”
