Available for over a year

On Profile this week, we look at the man who has effectively become Britain’s acting Prime Minister. The 46-year-old Foreign Secretary, Dominic Raab, asked to deputise “where necessary” for Boris Johnson while he recovers from coronavirus. A staunch Brexiteer and a karate black belt, he’s perhaps not the best-known member of the Cabinet. So, who is he and – more importantly - is he up to the job? A former lawyer, Raab has experience in international justice – but his hard-line on Brexit as well as past comments about feminism, welfare and Britain’s work ethic have angered his critics. Mark Coles hears from political colleagues, Westminster journalists – even Dominic Raab’s boxing coach. Producer Smita Patel Editor Ravin Sampat Researcher Bethan Head
