DominicRaab UK BorisJohnson Covid_19 Newsonepk
LONDON: When Boris Johnson announced he had tested positive for coronavirus, Downing Street said Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab would deputise if the British prime minister was incapacitated.Few expected him to do so, as Johnson and his office repeatedly maintained the prime minister’s symptoms were mild.
He quit after just three months in November 2018 in protest at May’s doomed divorce deal with Brussels that he said offered too many concessions. The 46-year-old, who has law degrees from both Oxford and Cambridge universities, had ambitions himself for the top job, challenging Johnson for the Tory leadership after May quit.Raab’s tilt for the top job marked him out as a threat to former London mayor Johnson due to his even more strident pro-Brexit views.
As a recognised eurosceptic, Raab became the public face of Brexit but May also put a senior civil servant in charge of leading the negotiations with Brussels.International lawyerHis Czech-born Jewish father came to Britain in 1938 as a six-year-old refugee. He died of cancer when Raab was 12 and his mother brought him up in the Church of England.After studies, he became an international lawyer at London legal firm Linklaters before joining the Foreign Office in 2000 as an advisor.
He caused major problems for the then-prime minister David Cameron in 2014, with a backbench amendment on curbing the power of judges to block deportations under European rights laws.Cameron put Raab on the most junior government rung in the justice ministry in 2015, but he dropped off when May became prime minister in 2016.
