Raab denial: Prime Minister is taking the public for fools
Responding to news that Rishi Sunak's press secretary would not confirm whether he was aware of informal allegations against Raab when appointing him, Liberal Democrat Deputy Leader Daisy Cooper MP, said:
“Once again, it appears as though the Prime Minister is taking the public for fools and trying to wriggle his way out of giving a straight answer.
"If it turns out that the Prime Minister has indeed turned a blind eye to informal allegations of bullying, just so he can appoint who he wants to, it would be shameful.
"The ethics adviser should urgently open an investigation into what Sunak knew and when, when he made his Ministerial appointments.
"If Sunak has nothing to hide, he has nothing to fear."
