Dominic Raab’s future hangs in balance as decision to back or sack him over bullying probe is delayed until tomorrow

RISHI Sunak won't announce his decision on whether to sack Dominic Raab until TOMORROW.

This morning the PM was handed a report into his embattled deputy after a five-month investigation by barrister Adam Tolley.

He's spent hours pouring over the details - but won't make an announcement on Mr Raab's political fate until tomorrow.

A source said:  “It’s not clear cut and the report is very dense. It will take time to work through.”

The Justice Secretary will try to come out swinging when the report's details are finally published, pals insist.

Downing Street today insisted the PM still has "full confidence" in Mr Raab at this time.

Mr Sunak's spokesman said: "The Prime Minister has received the report from Adam Tolley, the independent investigator.

"He received the findings this morning. He is carefully considering those findings."

Mr Sunak wants a "swift" resolution but it is not clear when he will reveal whether Mr Raab survives.

The under-fire Deputy Prime Minister is fighting for his political career after two dozen civil servants levelled complaints against him.

No10 have not denied that the long-awaited independent probe into his behaviour arrived on the PM's desk this morning.

Allies of the Justice Secretary insist he’s ready to fight the claims publicly for the first time when the report is finally published.

A Ministry of Justice source said: "It feels like waiting for a tsunami to hit.

"It's been like this for months but today even more so."

Last night a Cabinet Minister told TalkTV that Mr Sunak "has to stand by Dominic Raab" over bullying accusations.

They said: "The evidence just isn't there, robust management yes, but that doesn't constitute bullying."

The Raab probe was triggered after staff from multiple Whitehall departments made complaints about his behaviour spanning years.

In one instance the DPM was accused of creating a "culture of fear".

And civil servants have described being reduced to tears and experiencing mental health crises following interactions with Mr Raab.

He was also alleged to have hurled tomatoes across a table in the Ministry of Justice during a fit of rage.

The Sun understands one of Mr Raab's close advisors has invited staff for drinks in Westminster this evening.

A source said: "It feels like it could be a leaving do."
