Raab accused of bullying by leading Remain campaigner
The Independent|February 03, 2023
Dominic Raab is facing fresh allegations of bullying amid claims that he launched an "abusive attack" on a prominent anti-Brexit activist. Remain campaigner Gina Miller said she was "bullied and demeaned" by the deputy prime minister after he called her "stupid" and "naive" during an "aggressive" encounter at the BBC in 2016.

Raab accused of bullying by leading Remain campaigner

Her claims, written in an article for The Independent, are the first on-the-record accusations of abuse against Mr Raab, who faces an official inquiry into allegations that he bullied civil servants. He said the claims by Ms Miller are "baseless and malicious". Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has appointed Adam Tolley KC to look at allegations of bullying against Mr Raab, involving up to 24 civil servants.

Ms Miller writes: "He was aggressive and intimidating, and I was bullied and demeaned. This was an aggressive male expressing seemingly misogynistic behaviour. This sort of behaviour is not acceptable from anyone, especially not from a powerful, influential politician."

The prime minister is under increasing pressure to explain if he knew of allegations against Mr Raab before he appointed him to the cabinet. No 10 has only ruled out that Mr Sunak was aware of "formal complaints".

Goal for Danes a full-circle moment for heroic Eriksen

You have to wonder what sort of thoughts were swirling around Christian Eriksen’s head, as the Denmark talisman waited for the first whistle to sound. It would be understandable if some of them were dark, frightening, or even traumatic. For the last time he began a European Championship campaign, three summers ago, Eriksen died for five minutes.
