Tory Chairman Nadhim Zahawi has been SACKED for a "serious breach" of the ministerial code amid a major row over his tax affairs.
The top minister had come under intense pressure after it emerged that he had settled a multi-million tax dispute - including a penalty - with HMRC while he was Chancellor last summer.
In a letter to Mr Zahawi on Sunday, the Prime Minister said an ethics probe by his independent adviser had made it "clear there has been a serious breach of the ministerial code".
