Dominic Raab Resigns as U.K. Deputy Prime Minister Amid Bullying Report

British Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab has resigned from his position after an independent investigation found that he had bullied his staff and civil servants while serving in high office. Raab, who had promised to resign if the report upheld bullying claims about him, criticized the inquiry for "setting the threshold for bullying so low." His departure is another blow to Rishi Sunak's government, which has been dogged by allegations of "sleaze" and impropriety. Sunak was swift to reshuffle his ministerial cabinet, appointing ally Oliver Dowden as the new deputy prime minister, in place of Raab.
