The Independent's Morning Headlines email [View online]( February 03, 2023 [Morning Headlines]( 1 / [Dominic Raab faces claims he ‘bullied and demeaned’ leading anti-Brexit campaigner]( Dominic Raab is facing fresh allegations of bullying amid claims that he launched an “abusive attack” on a prominent anti-Brexit activist. Remain campaigner Gina Miller said she was “bullied and demeaned” by the deputy prime minister after he called her “stupid” and “naive” during an “aggressive” encounter at the BBC in 2016. Her claims, written in an article for The Independent, are the first on-the-record accusations of abuse against Mr Raab, who faces an official inquiry into allegations that he bullied civil servants. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has appointed Adam Tolley KC to look at claims of bullying against Mr Raab, involving up to 24 civil servants. Mr Raab said they are “baseless and malicious claims”.   2 / [New CCTV breakthrough in hunt for missing dog walker as police seek woman in red]( Nicola Bulley, 45, a mortgage advisor, was last seen on Friday morning at around 9.20am 3 / [Mason Greenwood breaks silence after attempted rape and assault charges are dropped]( Manchester United issued a statement to open their own investigation into Greenwood 4 / [Sunak: I’d love to give nurses a pay rise – but we can’t right now]( Prime minister tells Piers Morgan he is proud of what he has done in first 100 days in office 5 / [NHS heading for major new scandal causing ‘severe harm and death’, safety commissioner warns]( ‘My clear message to leaders is – don’t let this happen on your watch,’ warns Dr Henriette Hughes     The Big Question What is the timeline of dog walker Nicola Bulley’s mysterious disappearance?
