The investigation into the conduct of British Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab has recently expanded as five more complaints surface. There are now eight complaints of Raab’s alleged behavior that investigators will look into.
The spokesperson for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said Wednesday that the scope of the investigation launched into the alleged behavior of Raab has expanded its scope. The expansion follows the surfacing of five more complaints about Raab’s behavior. The new complaints are coming from when Raab was serving in the justice ministry, according to the spokesperson.
There are now eight complaints against Raab overall, with three complaints that were made about his tenure in the ministry of justice, as well as foreign and Brexit ministries.
“I can confirm that the Prime Minister has now asked the investigator to include five further formal complaints relating to conduct at the Ministry of Justice as part of the ongoing investigation,” said the spokesperson.
On Thursday, the Daily Mail reported that Sunak is planning to introduce anti-strike laws in order to protect lives and livelihoods. Speaking with the outlet, Sunak said that he hopes union leaders could see that it is not right to cause disruptions to many people, especially at the time of the Christmas season. Sunak said he plans to introduce the legislation in 2023.
“I’m prepared to introduce new legislation next year to protect people’s lives and minimize the disruption on their livelihoods. And that’s something we are working on at pace,” said Sunak.
A report on Wednesday found that Sunak’s predecessor Boris Johnson has been paid over $1.2 million to deliver speeches since stepping down from office three months ago. Johnson was paid such an amount for speaking engagements at a rate of £30,000 per hour in October and November, according to the latest register of the financial interests of the members of parliament.
Johnson officially stepped down as the country’s prime minister back in September following several scandals and a mass exodus of officials in his government. Johnson was later replaced by Liz Truss, who also left office after serving as prime minister for over a month.
