Rishi Sunak wants the credit for sacking Nadhim Zahawi, but the PM is not out of trouble 🔴 ANALYSIS from HugoGye
Sir Laurie’s investigation certainly did its job, digging out damning new facts that removed the ambiguity over whether the minister had done anything wrong. We now know that HMRC’s probe into Mr Zahawi’s taxes began more than a year earlier than previously thought, and that he repeatedly hid the details of his dispute and the penalty he paid to resolve it from civil servants and three successive prime ministers.
The Prime Minister is not entirely out of trouble, however; he still faces questions over the future of his deputy, Dominic Raab, who is embroiled in his own ethics probe, as well as why he did reappointed Suella Braverman just days after she was found to have broken the ministerial code. One reason he clung on so long may be that he is generally popular and respected among Conservative MPs, both for his gregarious personal manner and his successful work overseeing the Covid vacciness programme.
