He was terminally on holiday. Can't wait for the blithering idiot to come before this enquiry where his buffoonery and diverting tactics will be redundant.
This is a man who thinks he is the most clever person in the room. I was hoping for some sort of showdown and was left highly disappointed. He just waffled his way through it.
The trouble is the hubris, inculcated into them in their public, not really public schools, constantly telling them they're the best of all people. Hubris personified.
I suspect they will ignore most of what he said as it was of little value. Anyone who thinks the priority was go globetrotting and then go skiing at the start of a pandemic is delusional. He was also on holiday during the Afganistan crisis.
So much drivel. I went to the Gambia for a four day break in February 2020 we were screened before we even entered the arrivals building by people wearing PPE - on 18th February. Nothing at all was in place at the London airport at which we arrived four days later. Shapps, and many of rest of them, did not do the job well enough.
How many of these killers saw for months the approach of the virus through other countries with death tolls growing day by day and thought Now is a damn good time to go for a holiday abroad at the tax payers expense - and then give advice at the same time to the public to not go out
Oh, look it's Mr. "I hadn't quite understood the full extent of this, but if you look at the UK and if you look at how we trade in goods, we are particularly reliant on the Dover-Calais crossing."
For goodness sake, what an earth is he talking about intellectually bankrup, gaslighting, unbelievable, he was given so much time starve the room of oxygen
A thoughtful and considered answer spewing out as much management speak as can be shoehorned in. Didn’t the absolute arse go on holiday when Kazakhstan kicked off too? And who can forget his constant denial of the parties.. next stop the jungle
I was disappointed at how Raab was given a soft ride. It was a word salad. This counsel is not holding his feet to the fire. If it were Michael Mansfield KC he would take control and not allow it to sound like a seminar. Raab was enjoying himself knowing the counsel was out of his depth. Trump tries to do this in court and the judge said "I don't want to hear you" I want to hear you answer questions. Raab was leading him into a merry dance and he complied.
@@roconnor01 I read the comment as representing Raab's view of the civil servants, not the poster's. Although he would probably have said "the lazy, idle civil servants that I absolutely did not bully, not me sir, I'm just a fluffy bunny".
@@annphillips1086 Thankyou. That’s what I meant. Raab was found guilty of bullying his staff who were civil servants. I actually do know one civil servant who worked in the Home Office but because of the culture he resigned his post and moved back to Glasgow. This other guy has read my post wrongly and must think I’m having a go at civil servants. My own grandfather was a civil servant in the Ministry of Defence.
Watching people drop themselves in the brown and smelly with their own words is beyond disgraceful as they are even 'trying it on' under oath- absolutely shameless behaviour. They are answering questions like they are on a current affairs programme!
@@noelfleming3567 First they came for the working classes, I said nothing just made fun, Then they came for the middle classes And I said nothing, just made fun, Then they came for me (they promised they wouldn't)... And now I'm payin' d bills 😭
Raab has a facial expression, when he's being asked a question, of slight disdain mixed with a steady gaze of vague puzzlement. It's very off-putting and he knows it.
They try and justify all the shit they did and nake excuses for why he went on holiday and missed the cobra meetings but was happy to go to parties. They even try and control the proceedings here. All need to be held to account for their actions.
A polished, assertive, yet co-operative performance from Raab. And yet, the performance of the Government in which he was part of, contradicts his description of how it performed, given that we experienced the worst volume of excess deaths, exceeded by only five other countries, all with much larger population sizes . Were they really trying to save lives?
He seems so very much at ease. Never did he speak so fluently as a minister. It further underlines the nonsense of cabinet responsibility - and how it constrains candour, honesty, and open government. I still think he was not an effective minister, and like his fellows, showed himself to be a zealot, tied to the dogma that hampered the authoring of good policy at a time when there was a real opportunity for unity across the house.
Cooperative would have been respecting the time of the committee and answering the questions directly and concisely. In court, objections would be raised and rightly sustained for this model of testimony.
That was sensible and reasonible points by Raab... If the pandemic started in the UK. being told 100,000-300,000 deaths at the start of feburary and seeing what was happening over the world destroys his arguements. As a island country we could of had much more effective solutions
The holiday question was funny, I’m reading into it “I’m going on holiday regardless, leave the mess to someone else, f*ck it.” 😂 “Get that skiing holiday in we booked, before it all turns to sh*t.” 😂 Loads of waffle and verbal manoeuvring.
Funny that because we were watching all countries not just England & we locked down as a healthcare provider sector for extremely clinically vulnerable on 20th March 2020, why he had his glorious holiday !
Anticipating the question and leaping on the defensive, is telling. These Tories seem terrified that they are going to continue to be kicked whilst they are down. They know what they've got coming
This man is slippery and not telling the full truth. On holiday during covid… on holiday during the withdrawal of Afghanistan, tells you everything about his morality and focus.
Think the solicitor was put in his place. Cummins answered clearly, concisely and the inquiry was being told how government works. Not getting the answers you wanted makes him look foolish!
You are the company network manager, and just before lunch, you become aware of some smoke coming from the server room. However, it's 12:05, and it's your lunchtime, and the alarm didn't go off. You return from your delightful lunch (using the work Amex), only to find the entire building on fire. Oh, what just happened? In the real world, you would face negligence, potentially lose your job, and maybe even face criminal charges. In Tory Britain, well, Mr. Raab very eloquently puts it bluntly-it was his lunch break, and how dare you think it was his responsibility to check if everything was right.
If you can't deal with the pressure that comes with being the Primie Minister, then you should step down and let someone else take on the role. The whole Conservative Party should learn this, and let Labour take control
I dont work in an office but after listening to him for 40 seconds I'd already looked out of the window and glazed over. I thinks he's talking about how we greet customers with the "greet plus 1" attitude. He'll want wristbands with positive quotes printed on them and 'if we could all go home tonight and think of a way we can improve the Customer journey' And then never steps foot on the shop floor apart from when he empied a bin to look like 'the man of the people'. I'm so glad i had a breakdown and cant work anymore.
Poor old Dominic Raab, he only takes two holidays one at the start of the Kabul evacuation (when the "sea was closed") and at the start of Covid, if he books another holiday he should let us know so we can prepare for a disaster
Raab doesn't understand Risk Management, it explicitly doesn't require hindsight. Waiting for definitive answers, which in some areas we still don't have, in a new pandemic shows his lack of understanding especially when the chief medical officer predicted deaths of between 100-300 thousand at the beginning
They're just not asking the right questions. It doesn't matter whether he was advised not to go on holiday. The question should be if the virus was as deadly as we were being told it was (though Witty has now admitted it wasn't), why wasn't Raab too SCARED to travel. Same question about Party gate. Who cares about who had a beer and who had some cake. The question is why weren't they too SCARED to have a party. We had all been told that we should be scared. Why weren't they? Till someone asks that question, this enquiry will continue to be a waste of taxpayers money.
What a waste of time this enquiry is , politicians moving from Commons to this room to continue lying without reprocussions. All it serves is to give these people more of taxpayers money.
He was never meant to be in politics. If he had got the Regional Manager Job for Currys Midlands we wouldn't of had to endure him. He's the type of go-getter that could of really smartened up the POS around Laundry and Home Appliances from Coventry to Solihull.
He took a family holiday!!!...knowing, as per his words, the seriousness of the problem...these are not serious people and they should face consequences for their actions and of course in-actions - shame on every one of them.
the very sad thing as I understand it is this is costing millions but nobody will be held accountable because of parliamentary privilege, is it me that just think it's wrong for those who failed go unpunished?
Yep, so says the guy that showed up on breakfast time TV every other day lying for Johnson and claiming he wasnt a bully and never would bully and then left his job in disgrace. Meally little self seeking man.
Just like Theranos, somebody applying a model built for software development to healthcare. When he says "testing on users", he means testing on patients. Then he name drops Daniel Kahneman who wrote the number 1 coffee table book, which is why he has heard of it.

If you think of how precious every minute of the PM’s time - like when he went missing in action for a week at the start of COVID.
Rather longer than a week, he missed the first five Cobra meetings
Missed 5 cobra meetings. Says it all how little he cared for the country he’s meant to serve have duty of care for
He was terminally on holiday. Can't wait for the blithering idiot to come before this enquiry where his buffoonery and diverting tactics will be redundant.
Because He couldn't give a F?
He was writing a book about Shakespeare 😂
I can't look at Raab without seeing Alan B'stard superimposed on top of him... Everything about Raab makes my flesh crawl!!
Yep - something of the night, definitely.
Boris Johnson's tenure = "The Blonde leading The Bland" 😂😂😂
He really is talking nonsense and that’s to put it politely
Raab having another vowel movement
This is a man who thinks he is the most clever person in the room. I was hoping for some sort of showdown and was left highly disappointed. He just waffled his way through it.
The trouble is the hubris, inculcated into them in their public, not really public schools, constantly telling them they're the best of all people. Hubris personified.
At least he warned at the very start he’d waffle before speaking.
Seeing as how there were only three people left in the room, he clearly had nothing of interest to add

Now is a damn good time to go for a holiday abroad at the tax payers expense - and then give advice at the same time to the public to not go out
Remember Boris's dad was also given special allowance to go on holiday.
Oh, look it's Mr. "I hadn't quite understood the full extent of this, but if you look at the UK and if you look at how we trade in goods, we are particularly reliant on the Dover-Calais crossing."
Pointless. Pointless. Pointless. Can't work out why anyone pays him for anything.
Because the UK is now a Joke of a Country.
For goodness sake, what an earth is he talking about intellectually bankrup, gaslighting, unbelievable, he was given so much time starve the room of oxygen
Does Raab still exist. I’d have hoped like at the end of Infinity Endgame, they’d all have dissolved into dust.
Someone must have said his name three times in a mirror
Did Raab actually answer any question ?
Not so far in my hearing.
Nope, he waffled on!
He lived up to his profession of a politician.
A thoughtful and considered answer spewing out as much management speak as can be shoehorned in. Didn’t the absolute arse go on holiday when Kazakhstan kicked off too? And who can forget his constant denial of the parties.. next stop the jungle
As my dear old dad used to say, "Son, you can always tell when a politician is lying. If you look closely you can see their lips moving."
How original
Shit take
Lots of talking from Raab and as usual, no substance.
Raab, not on holiday, what's up with him. Slacker. 😂😂🐱🐱.

That's if they don't find away to squirm out of it.
They put him under oath in committee, that was very revealing.@@jamessteel9016
Dominic Raaaaaaaaab
Silly name, silly face, silly man,
Slimy, so slimy - could be a slug.
Slugs like word salads!
Never grew out of being a rugby captain.
Can you imagine having him over to dinner. One way of losing your appetite
He'd be the main dish, at my house.
@capt.bart.roberts4975 Only if you intend to leave the table with a severe bout of foodpoisoning! 🤢
Odd that committee allowed Raab to waffle on. I seem to remember they were very much stricter with other witnesses.
How did the lawyer and chairwoman allow him to drone on and on like that?
Wasn't it terrible those RAF fighter pilots deciding to go on a week's personal holiday in August 1940, when we were about to be invaded, wasn't it?
And they sat in deck chairs!
Watching people drop themselves in the brown and smelly with their own words is beyond disgraceful as they are even 'trying it on' under oath- absolutely shameless behaviour. They are answering questions like they are on a current affairs programme!
This is just a cost of doing business for them (the post grillings). There are no personal financial or legal consequences so they don't give a shit.
And d taxpayer pays d bills 😢

And prosecuted if they get away with this then there will be no justice to all of us that lost loved ones
Clearly unaware of the principle of taking precautionary action based on risk and probability assessments

No it wasn't. He uttered a long string of clichés rather than get to the point.

did he not have another holiday during the evacuation of kabul ,slippery
He's a busy man, can't faff around by changing his holidays, things to meet, people to do.😐
😱Oh, not him again 😱
I’m afraid to say he comes across better than I expected. The click bait title ‘grilled’ is wrong. He doesn’t looked in the least ‘grilled’.
Long rambling questions and long rambling answers....didn't learn anything. Waste of time.
There wasn't any rambling long questions here, I only heard just some thick fella droning on and on about nothing in particular in response.
Funny that because we were watching all countries not just England & we locked down as a healthcare provider sector for extremely clinically vulnerable on 20th March 2020, why he had his glorious holiday !

He's a vile individual.
We're seeing a softly spoken Raab. We know he was a bully
It's like watching a person step into a tigers cage with a Swiss army knife, confident he can get out of it without a scratch.
First do no harm seems to be a foreign concept to the man et al
Raab has just dug his own grave here.
I this he’s been talking to Gove, how do we get out of a mess?.just try and blind them with waffling on and on and on.
You are the company network manager, and just before lunch, you become aware of some smoke coming from the server room. However, it's 12:05, and it's your lunchtime, and the alarm didn't go off.

Over 3 minutes for Raab's first rambling wordsalad answer. Sounded like Monty Python's Terry Jones in the Summarising Proust Competition sketch
Thank you for this coverage, i so appreciate it..😊
Love his constant phoney complimenting of the civil service, he's in damage control mode still after all the (alleged) bullying.
He talks like a used car salesman.
He talks rambling meaningless words much like Russell brand
eww bully boy Raab is back.
Word salad. If he can throw out enough words, he's hoping something will stick. Total garbage.
He's filibustering
The art of talking s**t
Why do these people think the enquiry is interested in their opinion, just answer the ducking question.
when someone starts talking about synergies and osmosis while moving their hands around I call it bollocks
Again talking and saying nothing
Douglas bader had the same
Dilemma in 1940 whilst taking on the Luftwaffe in defence of these isles. 😂
What a utter waste of space he continues to be
He'd make a good coat stand and hat racking in a night club.
So what happened to the Cygnus Exercise in 2016 did they just waste more Tax payers money!!!!!
Yes.... 😐
He uses a lot of verbiage and says nothing. He just prattles on like a toddler talking about balloons and peacocks in the zoo.

Hes right, Boris the bullet dodger did not treat him has his puppet , he treated him like his pepper pig on coke
And just how many public sector (including NHS) workers, Mr Raab, took a skiing holiday during the pandemic?
