'I know what it is like to struggle to get by. I remember my mum having to pawn her jewellery just to try and put food on the table. We had nothing'
Sources have insisted that Mr Fullbrook is nothing more than a long-standing friend of Mr Zahawi’s, to whom he often provides advice.
“I know what it is like to struggle to get by. I remember my mum having to pawn her jewellery just to try and put food on the table. We had nothing,” he said.The only belonging they had left was a Vauxhall Senator car, which the new Chancellor had intended to use to become a minicab driver. His parents were insistent that he go to university, however, and he lived with them in their flat throughout his studies, while his parents ran market stalls to make ends meet.
Sources say that he is likely to emphasise his successful business career and ability to empathise with those from the poorest backgrounds as he runs for leader. His appointment to run the Treasury has drawn comparisons with John Major, who was installed as Margaret Thatcher’s Chancellor, as she battled to maintain support of her own Cabinet before eventually resigning.
