Sunak under pressure from ‘frustrated’ Tory MPs over Raab allegations

PM pressed to explain what he knew and when

Rishi Sunak is under growing pressure to explain what he knew and when about the Dominic Raab bullying allegations before he appointed him deputy prime minister.

The prime minister has refused to suspend Mr Raab pending the outcome of an investigation into complaints from as many as 24 civil servants.

But Conservative MPs have called for the inquiry to be fast-tracked, saying it was in everyone’s interest for it to be completed quickly.
