Jacob Rees-Mogg has dismissed a report that found Dominic Raab had bullied staff as a 'veritable blizzard of snowflakes'
The report from independent investigator Adam Tolley concluded Mr Raab had"acted in a way which was intimidating", and had been"unreasonably and persistently aggressive" in meetings.Mr Raab denied the allegations and said his conduct related to his time as foreign secretary dealing with"Brexit negotiations over Gibraltar, when a senior diplomat breached the mandate agreed by the cabinet".
Mr Rees-Mogg said:"The main complaint that was upheld relates to an ambassador, an extraordinarily senior figure who was deliberately going against government policy in Gibraltar, an issue of the highest sensitivity."It seems that all Mr Raab did was raise the question of the Civil Service code, which wasn't being followed.
