She is the first to go on the record with a complaint against Mr Raab, as revealed by The Independent. However, Mr Raab has faced questions over his conduct for some time, with FDA union leader Dave Penman saying that civil servants had quit or changed roles because of his behaviour.
Rishi Sunak is under increasing pressure to clarify whether he knew about the allegations against Mr Raab before he appointed him to the cabinet, with No 10 so far only saying that the PM was unaware of any "formal complaints". Mr Raab has denied any wrongdoing.
Here is a timeline of how the case mounted against him.
2010 - 2018
Former civil servant and lawyer Mr Raab enters parliament as Conservative MP for Esher and Walton in 2010. He is a prominent Leave supporter in the lead-up to the 2016 referendum, and gets his break in 2018 when he becomes Brexit secretary.
It is in 2016 that Ms Miller says Mr Raab bullied her. A source close to Mr Raab responded to the allegations, saying: "These are baseless and malicious claims, timed to jump on a political and give Gina Miller the publicity she craves." bandwagon According to reports in October 2022, "concerns were raised" about Mr Raab's behaviour as secretary of state in 2018. A document outlining a "serious expression of concern" was dispatched to the Cabinet Office citing unprofessional, even bullying conduct of the minister towards his private office. No action was taken.
2019 - September 2021
