Dominic Raab accused of chucking tomatoes across a room in an explosive ‘tirade’ at Ministry of Justice staff
DEPUTY PM Dominic Raab was left red faced tonight after mutinous staff accused him of hurling tomatoes across the room in a fit of rage.
The Tory hard man was claimed to have exploded into a “tirade” at a tense meeting of nervous Ministry of Justice staff in June this year.
Former staff tonight also turned on the salad-flinging Secretary of State.
One said: “I just hope he can turn over a new leaf.”
