New Chancellor Nadim Zahawi says he believes Boris Johnson is ‘honest all the time’ in his first TV appearance since taking office.
Mr Zahawi was appointed as Chancellor of the Exchequer last night (July 5) after the resignation of Rishi Sunak. Mr Sunak’s decision to quit came in a double-punch to the PM, who also lost Health Secretary Sajid Javid.
A wave of resignations have followed — including Conservative Party vice-chair Bim Afolami and children’s minister Will Quince — over the Prime Minister’s handling of the Chris Pincher scandal, which Mr Johnson apologised over his handling of.
