Lord Simon McDonald was permanent under-secretary at the Foreign Office during Dominic Raab’s time there.
He’s told Sky’s political editor Beth Rigby he thinks the former deputy prime minister, who resigned from Government after a report upheld two bullying claims against him, should apologise for his behaviour.
On the podcast this week, Beth also talks football, as she is joined by Aston Villa’s chief executive Christian Purslow with the future of the Premier League and a new government regulator for football among topics discussed.
Plus, Beth and her producer Mollie reflect on some of the week’s other big stories following the Diane Abbott racism row.
