Former leader of the House of Commons, Jacob Rees-Mogg, said Dominic Raab's resignation as deputy prime minister and justice secretary was 'unnecessary' and the focus should be on the ambassador who 'was at fault'.
The report from independent investigator Adam Tolley concluded Mr Raab had"acted in a way which was intimidating", and had been"unreasonably and persistently aggressive" in meetings.
Conservative MP for North East Somerset, Mr Rees-Mogg thought Mr Raab's resignation was"unnecessary" and took aim at the ambassador at the centre of the accusations.The Former leader of the House of Commons criticised the diplomat saying that"you can't intimidate an ambassador and if you can then the ambassador is no good.
"It seems that all Mr Raab did was raise the question of the Civil Service code, which wasn't being followed. We cannot have a situation where ambassadors can ignore government policy, can freelance, can suggest that foreign forces should go onto British sovereign territory and not at least be held to account. So that seems a double standard."Civil servants can behave appallingly, whereas ministers do something perfectly normal and have to resign. I think this is quite wrong.
