Tax row Tory Nadhim Zahawi should stand aside while a probe into his affairs is ongoing, a senior Conservative has said.
Ex-Minister Caroline Nokes broke ranks to call on her party colleague to recuse himself from his role as Tory chairman while Rishi Sunak's sleaze watchdog looks into a multimillion pound tax dispute he resolved by paying a penalty to HMRC
Mr Zahawi is alleged to have paid an estimated £5million penalty when he was Chancellor - and in charge of UK tax policy - between July and September.
