Dozens of people, including the deputy prime minister himself, have now given evidence to the inquiry.
Former colleagues of Dominic Raab have spoken out about their experience of working with him, as an inquiry into bullying claims reaches its final stages.Dozens of people, including Mr Raab himself, have now given evidence to the inquiry.Mr Raab's evidence is now being reconciled with other witnesses, in a sign the probe is approaching its conclusion.
The complaints relate to Mr Raab's time as justice secretary and foreign secretary under Boris Johnson, and his time as Brexit secretary under Theresa May.The complainants cannot speak publicly while the inquiry is ongoing, but the BBC has spoken to a number of other people who worked closely with Mr Raab, who characterise his behaviour in different ways.Somebody who advised Mr Raab in a senior role in one department said: "I didn't personally feel bullied.
"At a flick of a switch he could turn incredibly angry and pretty offensive in the way in which he talked to people.""Junior officials were, to all intents and purposes, protected from being exposed to his nastiness, his humiliation, his belittling, and therefore would not be invited to go to meetings with him.
"There were a handful of occasions where I observed him make a member of staff cry, because he was not happy with their work. That was probably one of the things that I found most uncomfortable," they said. Another parliamentary staffer that Mr Raab's office put us in touch with said they only had good things to say about him.
On hearing the news of the inquiry they said: "I was sad because everybody's experience is clearly different and it didn't correlate at all to my experience in the slightest… I think people would admit he's hard work because he is a perfectionist and he will go above and beyond to deliver for a department he wants to make changes [to]."
