A MINISTER today hit back at claims that those making bullying allegations against Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab were “snowflakey”.
Education Secretary Gillian Keegan took aim at former business minister Jacob Rees-Mogg as another former top civil servant confirmed he had given evidence to the investigation into Mr Raab’s conduct. Speaking yesterday Mr ReesMogg backed Rishi Sunak’s decision to keep his deputy in post while leading lawyer Adam Tolley KC conducts his probe. He added: “I think we’ve got to be slightly careful about the bullying allegations. We mustn’t be too snowflakey about it. People need to be able to say this job has not been done well enough and needs to be done better.”
But Ms Keegan rejected those remarks this morning, telling Sky News: “I don’t agree with that. Bullying is very serious and actually as the Education Secretary, one of the things that really is worrying in schools is bullying online... the way that bullying can spiral online is awful. Bullying is wrong and people should not bully anybody.”
