FORMER chancellor Nadhim Zahawi has been sacked by Rishi Sunak for a breach of the ministerial code.
It comes following a growing row over a fine the Tory party chairman paid to HMRC over his tax affairs and his failure to declare it in his ministerial interests.
The Prime Minister told Zahawi in a letter that it was “clear that there has been a serious breach of the Ministerial Code”. It turns out, the ethics probe uncovered seven breaches of the code.
