FOOTAGE has emerged of the Deputy Prime Minister staring into the soul of the leader of the opposition.
The clip, captioned "Raging", was shared on social media from the coverage of Volodymyr Zelenskyy's address to MPs and peers at Westminster.
Online comments compared Dominic Raab to looking like fictional serial killer Hannibal Lecter as he stared at the Labour leader with wide eyes and licking his lips.

Others suggested he had just binged sour sweets or he was jealous that his best friend, the Prime Minister, was talking to Starmer.
The unsettling clip definitely doesn't help ease the pressure piling on Raab, who is also the Justice Secretary, surrounding a series of complaints of bullying and abusive behaviour said to involve dozens of civil servants who worked with him.
Calls came this week for Raab to be suspended while he is investigated over the claims - however Sunak has commented he will take "swift action" once the investigation has concluded.
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!
