A senior lawyer has been investigating claims made by civil servants that Dominic Raab bullied them while at the Ministry of Justice and the Foreign Office - claims the deputy PM strongly denies.
Allies of Mr Raab said"he'll fight to the death", the Daily Telegraph reported.Sky News also understands Mr Raab and Mr Sunak did not speak on Thursday - and Mr Raab has seen the report and maintains he has behaved professionally at all times.
"Wages aren't keeping up with prices, people can't afford food and heating and their housing and the Conservative Party is in chaos again, not dealing with the priorities of the people who elected them. Changes to the ministerial code mean Mr Sunak can impose sanctions on his deputy that do not involve him being sacked, if he is found to have bullied staff.
Mr Tolley is understood to have spoken to dozens of witnesses, including top civil servants and Mr Johnson, following claims Mr Raab created a"culture of fear" at the Ministry of Justice, and allegations that he was"very rude and aggressive".
