FIONA Bruce has been accused of defending Tory party chairman Nadhim Zahawi’s tax affairs on Question Time.
After it emerged Zahawi had paid a penalty to HMRC to resolve a multimillion-pound dispute, the matter was up for discussion on the BBC’s Thursday night politics show.
But Bruce provoked a backlash when she was debating Zahawi’s situation with Russian-British political commentator Konstantin Kisin after the boss of HMRC, Jim Harra, said there were no penalties for innocent tax errors.
