Default Deputy PM Raab has now Resigned/ Oliver Dowden New Deputy PM

[Politics latest: Raab bullying report handed
to Number 10 as deputy PM's future
hangs in the balance

Rishi Sunak's spokesperson confirms
the PM received the report this morning
and is 'carefully considering the findings',
but won't offer a timeline for when it
will be published.]


If Sunak lets him stay
some Civil Servants will leave their jobs.

He’ll stick around no matter what the report says, Rishi doesn’t want to look weak to the far right delegation of his party by holding his people accountable for their actions

it's unlikely he is getting sacked. The other guy was fired within minutes of Sunak receiving the report on him

But the Report
may say he Broke Parliament Rules


Dom said if that is the case
he will resign



So anytime soon, he could still resign
today.

Unless we find out Tomorrow
Dom is not guilty and that report clears him...............

the only person that decides if he broke parliamentary rules is Sunak, so if Sunak doesn't want to sack him, he won't

Of Course


It all down to the Prime Minister Sunak
who has delayed his decision,
which is sneaky.

He's probably looking for any way around sacking him or moving him.

If this had in the main cleared Raab of any bullying intent or in fact bullying..
Then I'd think Sunak would have wanted to rush out and declare that.

He'll be looking at how he can present as best a plausible deceit to avoid the need for any action.

As for Raab resigning, he's now crawled up the backside of now at least 4 Prime Ministers.
This PM.however needs Raab onside with him.

So I think more possibly, how it can be presented as plausible to keep him and take no action is being worked out.
Which will be a continuation of the deceit of former Con PMs.

Johnson dismissed a report such as this on Patel.
I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if Sunak sets out to deceive too.

I still think, had it cleared Raab of anything
They'd both, Sunak and Raab, in a probable 'we told you so line' would likely have been screaming that from the rooftops within a couple of hours of seeing the report.

i agree with Joey. If Sunak was going to sack Raab, it would have been done within minutes of receiving the report. There is no way he didn't know exactly what was in the report before receiving it and now he is looking at how it can be fudged

If he indeed choses not to sack him when all the evidence suggests he should be gone, then it will be the beginning of the end for Sunak and he wont last until the summer

Book mark this post now

I saw Gina Miller on Piers Morgan's show last night and she said quite a while back she was in a lift with Raab and when the doors opened he said to her I can't decide if you're a bitch or just naive !

The report is probably very wishy washy and doesn't make a firm conclusion either way

'Wishy washy fishy rishi'.

So his capability of making a correct decision for the Country, his governnent and those who have identified themselves as the probable victims, will be to possibly fudge the issue and only set out to protect him and Raab.
No one else.

I kind of hope he refuses to act and if he leaves Raab who was a hopeless Justice secretary before, a disastrous Foreign secretary, again now a useless Justice secretary and an insult to the office of deputy PM.
Then this is an issue which will not go away at all.
