Britain’s Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab resigned on Friday following the findings of a report into allegations of harassment against people he worked with.

Eight complaints have been made against Dominic Raab regarding his conduct during his time as Foreign Secretary and Brexit Secretary.

In his resignation letter, he says that only a few complaints against him have been accepted and that the investigation into him is a “dangerous precedent”.

“By setting such a low threshold for harassment, this investigation has set a dangerous precedent. It will encourage false complaints against ministers and have a chilling effect on those who drive change on behalf of your government – ​​and ultimately the British people,” he wrote.

The Guardian newspaper reported in November that the appointment of Dominic Raab as head of the Ministry of Justice has raised concerns among many officials, some of whom are considering resigning. According to the British publication, the employees of the ministry described a “culture of fear” in the institution, headed by a “rude and aggressive tyrant”.

In turn, the tabloid The Sun noted that Raab threw tomatoes in a fit of rage during the meeting, which his press secretary denied at the time.

In February, Dominic Raab insisted he had always “conducted himself professionally during his tenure”. “If the accusation of moral harassment is confirmed, I will resign,” he assured.

Another British minister, Gavin Williamson, resigned in November after allegations of harassment.

On taking office, Rishi Sunak promised to demonstrate “decency, professionalism and responsibility” after a series of scandals under Boris Johnson.

According to the Savanta poll, around 72% of British voters believe that Dominic Raab should resign if he was the author of the acts of harassment, while 44% believe that Sunak was aware of the allegations when he appointed Raab.
