“It’s only fair we leave people to get on with their jobs,” a former colleague and ally of under-fire Nadhim Zahawi told LBC today amid the storm over his tax affairs
Rishi Sunak has asked his ethics adviser, Sir Laurie Magnus, to investigate Mr Zahawi's financial affairs, saying there are "questions that need answering".
This comes in contrast to former Conservative Minister, Caroline Nokes, who earlier called for Zahawi to step aside during the inquiry. Zahawi’s former colleague was also glowing about working with the Conservative MP. Lehain told LBC "he was a real treat to work for… he’s very calm, he’s very considered, he’s also very bright and focused… he’s a good man to be around".
