| 0:00.0 | So Dominic Rob has gone. |
| 0:11.5 | Westminster waited weeks for the investigation into the former Justice Secretary's behaviour |
| 0:15.1 | to be sent to issue Sunak and then had to hang on a few more hours for the Prime Minister |
| 0:19.0 | to issue his response. |
| 0:26.4 | In the end, Rab jumped first with a resignation letter and a telegraph op-ed, which made very clear what he thinks about it. In short, Rab is not happy. So we've reassembled the IFG podcast |
