A resignation letter without humility

The ink is barely dry on the Tolley Report, and Dominic Raab, the erstwhile Deputy Prime Minister, contrives to find the report's indictment of his behaviour as Kafkaesque.
For anyone unfamiliar with the works of Franz Kafka, Wikipedia has a very enlightening description of his writings, "isolated protagonists facing bizarre or surrealistic predicaments and incomprehensible socio-bureaucratic powers".

So according to Raab he is the victim of the bizarre, surreal and incomprehensible, rather than those he harangued into submission. He claims he was the one who suffered, not those who experienced the atrocious overbearing and intimidating Raab style of staff relations.

Wikipedia goes on to say that Kafka's writings " explore themes of alienation, existential anxiety, guilt and absurdity". This would seem to describe Raab's effect on his staff rather than the reverse.

However, it still didn't amount to a dismissal of Raab by his buddy Sunak.

Raab resigned without a hint of contrition but with an enormous dose of denial and sulky anger.

This government is in thrall to its own sense of worth, it has felt emboldened to act without restraint. Only when a few brave souls put their heads above the parapet and call out the behaviour of Ministers, do we get to hear the litany of complaints - that have festered in some cases for years. Unfortunately it is only with the weakening of the grip of the Conservatives that unacceptable and arrogant behaviour is finally being acted on. Under Boris Johnson's temporary reign, similar complaints against Priti Patel, were overruled.

Power in too few hands and for too long is dangerous for democracy.

Arrogance feels entitled and unassailable. Raab's demise is a consequence of this but even then it wasn't certain that he would be brought down.

Power has a reluctance to yield. We must make it yield at the ballot box
