British Deputy Prime Minister and Justice Minister Dominic Raab announced his resignation in a letter posted on Twitter.

Yesterday Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was given the very delicate internal report he himself commissioned on the allegations of aggressive behavior and "bullying" against some subordinates made against Raab at the time.

The now former deputy prime minister has always denied the disputes, dating back to the period in which he was head of Foreign Affairs, and then for the first time of Justice, in the teams led by Boris Johnson; or, again, when he was at the helm of the Brexit department in Theresa May's previous cabinet. But he had also assured that he was ready to resign - like the oppositions, Labor in the lead, and some party comrades have been urging him to do for some time - should the internal administrative investigation prove him wrong.

Leading the investigation conducted into the complaints of 24 officials and former ministerial employees, and resulting in today's report, was an independent figure appointed by Rishi Sunak, the lawyer Adam Tolley.
