The Independent has been highly commended in the daily newspaper of the year category at the prestigious London Press Club Awards.
Judges praised The Independent’s investigation into the tax affairs of former chancellor Nadhim Zahawi, who was sacked by Rishi Sunak for a serious breach of the ministerial code. Mr Zahawi had been forced to pay a £1m fine to HMRC following an investigation into his taxes, which was first revealed in this newspaper.
