Raab faces new investigation

Parliament's anti-sleaze watchdog is under pressure to launch a new inquiry into the behaviour of Dominic Raab. The former deputy MP from Surrey is facing a campaign to oust him from his seat, amid claims that he breached the code of conduct for MPs.

New Complaint Filed Against Raab

A complaint has been filed with the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards, Daniel Greenberg, regarding allegations of serious breaches of conduct by Raab. The complaint raises concerns about Raab's treatment of staff and visitors to parliament and calls for an investigation into his adherence to the code of conduct.

Calls for Raab's Removal

Sir Ed Davey, leader of the Liberal Democrats, recently hinted at the possibility of forming a coalition with Labour in the upcoming general election. In an interview on Sky News' Sophy Ridge On Sunday, he refused to dismiss the idea of a Labour-Lib Dem coalition with Sir Keir Starmer.

Tory MPs Accuse Sunak of Betrayal

Rishi Sunak has faced criticism from Tory MPs for using Raab as "cannon fodder." Some MPs are accusing the Prime Minister of not supporting them and being disloyal to his ministers.

Calls for More Politicisation of Whitehall

Lord Francis Maude, a Conservative peer in charge of a government review into the operations of the civil service, is advocating for increased "politicisation" of Whitehall. In his report, he recommends granting ministers greater authority to select their own officials, asserting that the system should be less reserved about embracing "politicisation." Lord Maude contends that if not addressed, mounting dissatisfaction could lead to additional situations similar to that of Raab's.
