DOMINIC RAAB will soon be jumping out of a plane at 15,000 feet. The Foreign Secretary hasn’t argued with Boris Johnson, he’s doing a charity skydive for Shooting Star Children’s Hospices, The Spectator’s Steerpike notices. Let’s hope Raab ignores charity 80,000 Hours, whose research once revealed that novice skydivers often get injured. For every £1 raised for charity, they cost the health service £13. Think positive.
