Former Foreign Office civil servant Simon McDonald also rejects former deputy PM’s claims of ‘activist civil servants’
A former civil service mandarin has revealed he had to warn Dominic Raab “more than once” about his conduct as foreign secretary while they were working together.
Simon McDonald said Raab, who was forced to quit as deputy prime minister on Friday after an inquiry found he had bullied civil servants, was a “tough taskmaster” whose “methods did not help him to achieve what he wanted to do”.
