GRANTED, he may not be the Brexit Secretary for too long given the utter chaos currently at play within the ranks of the party that is leading us through the biggest constitutional change the country has seen for decades, but we should still be concerned about Dominic Raab.
In the past he has made some questionable comments about food banks and why people use them.
Speaking during a debate on the Victoria Derbyshire Show last year, Raab said that those who use food banks have "a cashflow problem episodically".
He was then taken to task by the SNP's John Nicolson. Watch the exchange below.
👎 This in the new Brexit Secretary saying food bank users just have a "cash flow problem". It was the SNP's @MrJohnNicolson that took him to task over the comments. pic.twitter.com/Gl9RTwMkHY

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
