Pretty much proving in fact that Rabb has simply been bushwhacked and railroaded by a coven of remainer civil serpents.
I just hope Sunak understands this and takes steps to get these lefty moles out of the civil service before they wrest more control from the elected government.
“The UK government defines it as “behaviour that makes someone feel intimidated or offended”.”
So a catch all open to abuse.
“What does the law say?
There is no legal definition of bullying, and human resources professional body the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) says there is no single piece of legislation that covers it.”
Someone just got host by their own petard.
“Vishala Sri-Pathma contributed to this article.”
Not immediately clear as to who this is. There is a cubicle gardener of that name whose tweeting history suggests a certain… ‘slant’. Maybe has a bunch of Civil Service contacts?
“The UK government defines it as “behaviour that makes someone feel intimidated or offended”.”
……………..
Anna Soubry says that Islamophobia has no legal definition so cannot be applied to anyone … read this ….
“We have worked together on this, and I am sure he will agree when I (Anna Soubry) say that the time has now come for a proper legal definition of Islamophobia. Does the Minister agree?” – Anna Soubry
“There are many definitions of Islamophobia, but most people tend to adhere to the one used by the Runnymede Trust. We do not accept the need for a definitive definition, but we know that Islamophobia is clearly recognised and that we have very effective monitoring of race-hate crimes.” – Victoria Atkins
Doubt if Sunak will do anything. He belongs to a party which is in thrall to the globalists as are the other political parties. They all depend on the BBC and Civil Service to further the “cause” and line their own pockets. Apart from a handful of politicians, they couldn’t give a stuff about the people of this country.
We plebs are way down the line for attention while that lot are careering the eye-watering money, the expenses, the gongs after just a couple of failed years, the disgraceful pensions and all the trappings of ‘high office’, while they actually do very little except get in the way of private business which pays their huge wage bill.
(Sorry to say ‘we plebs’, I guess that may be a bit insulting to you and yours, but I hope you understand my general term)!

If Raab had real issues with competency (lack thereof) and obstinacy in not implementing his requests for action (which seems to be the case?) then he should burn the civil service.
It’s entirely possible that Sir Humphreys decided to fill Raab’s office with woke versions of Frank Spencer?
I’d rather like to hear Raab’s version of events – he might be an execrable bully – but by not fighting his corner in the court of public opinion he seems to be handing the tossers in the civil service a win by default.
Scroblene – I’m a bit surprised that Raab allowed himself to be screwed by the comrades in the Civil Service – I understand that out of 16? Allegations 2 were substantiated .
He should have positioned himself to have loyal SPADs do the direct contact with the comrades – and at least always have a ‘witness’ to counter the false claims .

Rob Burley Ex-BBC Head of Political Programmes explaining the “It’s OK when we LEFTIES do it ” rule
Disgusting hatchet job from the Mail. It’s simple how this works: most people interested in working in political TV have political views but when they work for the BBC they set them aside and strive for impartiality. Leave him alone to do his job. https://t.co/xfpDSgewUN
'It's slightly fitting in a way that he's gone out in an angry style – you can see probably what some civil servants encountered in some of the meetings behind closed doors.'
BBC did do a web story
“A man has been charged with second-degree murder in the US after he allegedly shot and killed a 20-year-old woman as the car she was in mistakenly drove up the man’s driveway.
Kaylin Gillis was with three other people in New York state on Saturday.
They accidentally drove into the driveway of Kevin Monahan in the town of Hebron, police say.
As the driver was leaving, Mr Monahan, 65, allegedly opened fire on the vehicle, hitting Ms Gillis.”
She was white and he was white
did the story get equal prominence with the black guy who as shot by a householder ?
vlad
While I wholly agree with the sentiment of your post it must be pointed out that your two examples did not compare apples with apples.
The black man was ACCUSED of a crime but the white man actually committed a crime. Innocent until proven guilty.
vlad
IF he is convicted then your entire post will be vindicated and I will bow to your superior intuition.
However, I do wonder about the impartiality of the justice system because accusations of racism seem to weigh more heavily than the bare facts.
“What power have you got? Where did you get it from? In whose interests do you exercise it? To whom are you accountable? And how can we get rid of you”
“Dominic Cummings was warned off, told that he would not be able to reform the civil service without support from senior officials or without the authority of the prime minister”.
Obviously Cummings was on a loser, the Tories squandered any chance of real reform (and hope for the British people that the country’s managed decline could be reversed) as they squandered the large majority and the rest is history.
Migrant invasion, movement back into the EU, woke agenda, increase in real crime, lower standard of living and suicidal energy policy, etc and nothing the Tories, Lib, Lab, Green can/will do about it.
taffman
As of today that is my intention. However the next General Election is apparently not due to take place until January 2025 and I am old enough to remember Harold Wilson claiming that a week in politics is a long time. Let’s see if the Tories manage to awaken from their Socialist slumber and of course at my age the grim reaper could well intervene in the meantime.
Life has never been so interesting.
Lefty
Certain the only party worth voting for at the moment is ‘the no government party ‘. For the foreseeable future I cannot see anything other than a big red labour majority ,
However – Red labour has never been much good at campaigning – so it might be more likely for a hung parliament – which is the best we can hope for .
If there is a global economic collapse – as many predict now -it’s an even tougher call – likewise with a war which directly affects us .
I hear Oliver Dowden is now deputy PM – rishi really having to scrape the barrel ….
As the Montacutie was long-weekending again, Jonny ‘Dalek’ Dymond was in charge and just happened to mention that Dominic Raab was a ‘brexiteer’. Incredible that he should have a CS scandal helping to push him out of office then. Who should Jonny bring on to comment but Pippa Crerar(!) who along with LauraK and various CSs ‘worked so hard’ (according to the Montacutie) to push Boris Johnson out with Partygate.

“placards with explicit Nazi references”
maybe that means people calling Sadiq a Nazi for his control freakery
