Nish Kumar says Raab confused him for Gina Miller's brother

Dominic Raab should quit or be fired, a cabinet minister has said, as it emerged that more civil servants than previously thought are part of the investigation into allegations he bullied staff.

The deputy prime minister is under growing pressure after top lawyer Gina Miller told The Independent that Mr Raab had called her “stupid” during an “aggressive” encounter, while BBC comedian Nish Kumar accused him of racial insensitivity.

The justice secretary is also said to be the focus of a single complaint based on the concerns of 27 civil servants at the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) as part of the official investigation by Adam Tolley KC.
