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.

Mark Coles hears from political colleagues, Westminster journalists – even Dominic Raab’s boxing coach.
