Irish ex-leader of British business lobby group claims he is ‘fall guy’ and that he was 'thrown under the bus', because, he says, his sacking has become muddled up with coverage of more serious issues

Mr Danker, a former McKinsey consultant and one-time Guardian executive, took over the CBI at the height of the pandemic in November 2020. He now claims he was made the “fall guy” and was “thrown under the bus” by the CBI because, he says, his sacking has become muddled up with coverage of the more serious issues such as rape.The allegations against the Irishman concern non-work messages he is said to have sent to female staff, which some were uncomfortable with.

This followed the publication on Friday of a Guardian account of an alleged rape after a night’s drinking by two CBI staff of a female colleague who worked in an overseas CBI office. The newspaper said it viewed explicit photos of her engaged in sexual acts to which she says she did not consent. Another woman says she was raped at a CBI party in 2019, while a third says she was stalked in 2018.

Relations hit rock bottom when Boris Johnson was prime minister, with sources suggesting that the CBI was “punished” by the Tories for opposing it in public. Mr Danker appears to have tried to smooth over relations, especially since the ascension to Number 10 Downing Street of former chancellor Rishi Sunak. In recent months, however, the CBI was still seen as having a better relationship with the Labour Party – Mr Danker was formerly an adviser to a Labour government.
