In the last few moments, Dominic Raab has resigned from his posts as justice secretary and deputy prime minister.

In his resignation letter, Raab says he feels "duty bound to accept the outcome of the inquiry" - but points out that the report by Adam Tolley KC "dismissed all but two of the claims levelled against me".

We've not seen the report yet, we'll bring it to you when we have it.

"I also believe that its two adverse findings are flawed and set a dangerous precedent for the conduct of good government," Raab writes.

In his resignation statement, published on Twitter, external, Dominic Raab takes aim at the inquiry, saying: "In setting the threshold for bullying so low, this inquiry has set a dangerous precedent.

"It will encourage spurious complaints against ministers, and have a chilling effect on those driving change on behalf of your government - and ultimately the British people."

Deputy prime minister Dominic Raab has resigned from government, following the conclusion of an inquiry into bullying allegations made against him.

While opposition parties accuse the PM of delaying his decision, others feel it's reasonable for Rishi Sunak to take his time when considering the future of not just his close ally but deputy PM and justice minister.

"Boris Johnson spent a very long time thinking about the Priti Patel report," Hannah White, director of the Institute for Government think-tank, recalls on Radio 4's Today programme, telling listeners: "This is an important decision for the PM to take."

She says it's about Raab's "career" and is a "really important issue" - and therefore deserves some careful consideration. Plus "prime ministers are very busy people", White says, meaning Sunak "may not have had time to spend hours on this yesterday".

It's also worth noting that this report was conducted by a lawyer - not an adviser - meaning it'll deal with facts rather than advice, White adds.

"We understand that [Adam] Tolley has been asked to set out the facts of the case," she says, highlighting how that's different to previous reports into government officials such as Nadhim Zahawi and his tax affairs.

It's been almost 24 hours since Rishi Sunak was handed the report into allegations of bullying by his deputy Dominic Raab.

The PM's Transport Secretary Mark Harper has defended his boss this morning, saying he only received the "extensive" report yesterday and insisting he'll want to reach a swift conclusion.

Asked whether Sunak was living up to his pledge of leading a government of "integrity, professionalism and accountability", Harper replied "yes".

Pressed on Sunak losing two senior figures over questions about their conduct - Gavin Williamson and Nadhim Zahawi - the transport secretary told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "The prime minister has high standards, and makes it clear that when people don't live up to them he takes the right decision."

Shadow health secretary Wes Streeting has just been speaking to the BBC, saying that Rishi Sunak "has no one to blame but himself" for the current situation.

Asked whether it's reasonable for Sunak to take time to make a decision on his deputy's future, he says it "certainly tells us there is a case to answer".

He tells Radio 4's Today programme that "there isn't a clear-cut decision for Dominic Raab, who must be sweating by now".

Streeting says Raab "shouldn't have been in the job in the first place" and that Sunak is "too weak" to stand up to his own party, particularly the group of more right-wing MPs.

I’ve been in Downing Street all morning where some of Rishi Sunak’s closest aides and advisers have been gradually making their way into No 10 since the early hours.

They - and the PM - have some tricky judgement calls to make today.

What it boils down to is whether they think the detail in the report amounts to bullying or not.

Dominic Raab has read it. He hasn’t offered a resignation.

He’s previously said if bullying allegations against him were upheld then he would resign.

Let's get more from Transport Secretary Mark Harper now, who has just been pressed on how long it might be until Rishi Sunak makes a decision over Dominic Raab's future as deputy prime minister and justice secretary.

But Harper refuses to speculate on timings, telling BBC Breakfast that Sunak is determined to go through all details in the "extensive" report.

He says complainants would want "a proper consideration given to it before the prime minister reaches a conclusion".

And he says he doesn't know if Sunak and Raab have spoken yet.

We still don’t know when this report will come out - and with it the prime minister’s decision.No 10 say the prime minister takes this very seriously and going through the report thoroughly and ensuring the proper processes are followed.

The stakes are high for him - and Dominic Raab - either way.

If Sunak sacks Raab, that will trigger a reshuffle of his government and potentially leave him vulnerable to questions about why he reappointed Raab to the government in the first place.

If he doesn’t sack Raab, he faces the prospect of fallout at the Ministry of Justice where he works as justice minister - perhaps even civil servants resigning or moving.

The stakes are high either way. The longer the delay, the less clear cut this seems.

It was several civil servants who first made the complaints against Dominic Raab, so let's hear now from Dave Penman, the boss of the FDA union, which represents civil servants.

He tells the BBC the time it's taking for Sunak to make a decision over his deputy is a "farce".

"Imagine being a civil servant who had raised a complaint about your secretary of state, who's possibly in the same building," he says.

"There are demanding bosses and there are bullies, and everyone knows the difference," he adds, saying providing a definition of bullying was not the PM's "experience or expertise".

Asked if he'll accept Sunak's decision, Penman says those who complain didn't do so "lightly", and the PM would have to explain his reasoning "to an awful lot of civil servants".

We're now hearing from Transport Secretary Mark Harper, who tells the BBC it's reasonable for the prime minister to take as much time necessary to make a decision on Dominic Raab's future.

He says he hasn't spoken to Rishi Sunak about the report, and he hasn't read or seen it himself.

Harper says it's reasonable "given the report was only given to Downing Street yesterday" that Sunak looks through it in full and then makes a decision.

"It's right that he takes his time."

The judgement call is binary: keep him, or sack him.

Here is what we know:

The prime minister has seen the report from Adam Tolley KC. The deputy prime minister has too.

Rishi Sunak and Dominic Raab did not speak yesterday.

Raab has said for some time that he would resign if it was concluded he was a bully. But Raab has not resigned.

It seems reasonable, therefore, to conclude the deputy prime minister does not think the evidence in the report amounts to bullying.

So the decision over his future is down to the prime minister.

If you missed the waiting game yesterday, let's have a quick recap:

Yesterday morning: We got word from No 10 just before midday that Prime Minister Rishi Sunak had been handed a report into allegations of bullying by his deputy Dominic Raab. He was carefully considering it, Sunak's spokesperson said.

Yesterday afternoon: After being told the public would see the same report as Sunak, there were hopes of a swift outcome. But by late afternoon, Downing Street was refusing to tell reporters whether the pair had even spoken.

Early evening: We were told the decision wouldn't be coming on Thursday, leading some to accuse Sunak of dithering over the future of his close ally.

Dawn has broken in Westminster and still we're waiting for Rishi Sunak to make a decision on his deputy Dominic Raab's future.

Sunak received a report into allegations Raab had bullied staff just before noon yesterday, and No 10 said it would be published "as swiftly as possible".

But as of late last night, the prime minister and Raab hadn't spoken.

All eyes are on the Downing Street door this morning, and Sam Hancock and Malu Cursino are joining me on watch duty.

We're pausing our coverage now following an ultimately anti-climactic day in Westminster.

We haven't been told when Sunak will make a decision on the fate of Dominic Raab - what we do know is it won't be today.

To read a bit more into the story, have a look here.

The page was brought to you by Sam Hancock, Emma Owen, Malu Cursino, Kate Whannel, Adam Durbin, Laura Gozzi, Richard Morris and myself.

Just before we go, we've got some lines from Labour MP Emily Thornberry, who was asked about Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's decision not to speak about Dominic Raab's future today.

Thornberry says Sunak's decision is simple: "If he's a bully, he should go".

She says that while the prime minister waits to make a decision, the rest of the country is dealing with a cost-of-living crisis.

She adds that there are more pressing issues concerning the British public, which Labour would resolve if they were in power.

The decision that never came - well, at least not yet.

We've been waiting for a decision from Rishi Sunak on Dominic Raab's future after the prime minister today received a long-awaited report into allegations of bullying against the justice secretary.

But just a little earlier, we were told Sunak would not be making an announcement on Raab's future today. Sunak’s official spokesman did not say when the report would be published to the public.

Sunak and Raab have not spoken today, the BBC’s political editor Chris Mason said, adding that the pressure on Sunak will be huge.

Some opposition leaders have asked why it's taken five months for the inquiry to conclude, while others have called on Raab to resign.

While a number of people have accused Dominic Raab of bullying, some have characterised the justice secretary as a hard worker with exacting standards.

Baroness Claire Fox, an unaligned peer, said the term bully had become "ever more elastic and expanded over the years".

Speaking to Politics Live a little earlier, she claimed bullying allegations were being levelled against people for "all sorts of reasons, that are not what we would normally constitute as bullying".

Fox said many of the claims about Raab being reported in the press were "like he was a hard taskmaster", adding that the country cannot get into a situation where having expectations of work will lead to claims of bullying.

Dominic Raab should not have been able to stay in his job while under investigation - that's what former Tory minister Jake Berry thinks.

Speaking to BBC Politics Live earlier, the Tory MP - and former chair of the party - said the allegations against Raab go back some 18 months and that the system of dealing with complaints in Westminster is outdated.

Berry, a prominent Boris Johnson supporter who was also briefly chairman of the Conservative Party under Liz Truss.

He added that Rishi Sunak now has the opportunity "to make his decision [about Raab] but then make a longer term decision about whether this system that we're going through is appropriate for the modern day".

I understand Dominic Raab has seen the full report of Adam Tolley KC.

I am told Raab has not spoken to the prime minister today.
