Former party chair Nadhim Zahawi leaves Conservative Party HQ in Westminster
(Picture: PA Wire)Nadhim Zahawi was sacked as Conservative Party chairman over the weekend for a serious breach of the ministerial code regarding his tax affairs, after the usual denials and attempts to survive.

Only a third of British people trust the government, though most of them trust their neighbours: there is some hope in that. Fewer than 20 per cent of young people believe democracy serves them and only six per cent of all people believe their needs drive government, behind the requirements of donors, corporations, the media and lobbyists.
