NADHIM Zahawi has spoken after he was sacked from the UK Government without mentioning the row over his tax affairs and with a pop at the press.
It emerged on Sunday morning that Rishi Sunak had removed Zahawi from his role as minister without portfolio from the Cabinet, and his job as Tory party chairman, with a replacement expected to be announced on the same day.
An ethics probe into Zahawi’s failure to disclose a HMRC investigation and subsequent fine in his register of interests, and during his appointment process as Chancellor under Boris Johnson, was a “serious breach” of the ministerial code.
