Mr Raab clashed with the Speaker during a tense meeting between the Deputy Prime Minister and the Labour Deputy Leader Angela Rayber. The Speaker intervened in Prime Minister’s Questions to warn Mr Raab against “talking about history” over repeated attempts by the Tory Minister to point to positions held by former Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn. <\/p>\n
