STAFF who were allegedly bullied by the Deputy Prime Minister "suffered mental health crises", a union boss representing Whitehall officials claimed today.
Dominic Raab, who is also the Justice Secretary, has been forced to deny he swore and shouted at senior officials as he faces multiple bullying complaints.
Eight formal accusations have been made against the minister and 24 civil servants have reportedly given evidence to Adam Tolley KC, who is leading the investigation into the claims.
Dave Penman, general secretary of the civil servants union the FDA, alleged that some members of Mr Raab's staff had been forced out of their jobs because of his behaviour.
He told Sky News: "I've spoken to people who are civil servants [who] have worked for Dominic Raab, who have suffered mental health crises, have lost their careers essentially because they've had to move and change jobs."
Allies of Mr Raab have accused civil servants of trying to push him out, while senior Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg warned people against being "too snowflakey" about bullying allegations.
