Jonathan Ashworth, the Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary, has told Sky News there is "no problem with being demanding or inquisitorial or pushing the system hard" - but a report into bullying allegations found that Dominic Raab was "intimidating" and "aggressive".

"It's not just that he was a bullying minister," he added. "He was a failing minister, failing to deal with the backlog in the courts, failing to deal with the problems in the criminal justice system - and indeed his failures I think are symptomatic of a failing government."

Mr Ashworth also said it is "right" that Mr Raab has resigned, but it "calls into question Rishi Sunak's judgement in appointing him".
