Introducing Dominic Raab — The New Brexit Secretary with Ties to the UK’s Climate Science Denial Network

Read time: 4 mins

Dominic Raab has been appointed Secretary of State for Brexit following David Davis’ resignation. He is a hardline Brexiteer with links to an extended network of individuals and organisations pushing deregulation and climate science denial.

A former solicitor, Raab worked as Davis’s chief of staff between 2006 and 2010. He was elected the MP for Esher and Walton in 2010.

Raab served as minister of state for justice and housing under Theresa May’s government and has been a member of the committee on exiting the European Union from October 2016 to May 2017.

A staunch Brexiteer, Raab has been involved in a number of pressure groups advocating a hard Brexit with some of the UK’s prominent climate science deniers.
