//In his resignation statement, published on Twitter, Dominic Raab takes aim at the inquiry, saying: "In setting the threshold for bullying so low, this inquiry has set a dangerous precedent.
"It will encourage spurious complaints against ministers, and have a chilling effect on those driving change on behalf of your government- and ultimately the British people."//
I think he's right. In this pathetically precious society we're kowtowing to where everything and anything 'offends', walking on eggshells is becoming de rigueur.

Had Sunak sacked him, that would have antagonised many in his party. Had he not done so, that would have antagonised many in the electorate. It's obvious that Raab understood this and saved his friend from doing either.

Emily Maitlis said on News Agents podcast yesterday, there were three possible outcomes - resignation (unlikely at the time), move to another department (demotion) or no further action (ie. exoneration)
She said Raab’s position next to Sunak on the front bench at PMQ’s suggested the latter.
I wonder how long he’ll actually be off the front bench though? Can he beat Bravernan’s seven days ‘in the wilderness’?
