Guardian News published this video item, entitled “‘Mire of sleaze’: Sunak’s judgment for reappointing Zahawi comes under question” – below is their description.
Rishi Sunak has sacked the Conservative party chair, Nadhim Zahawi, after he was found to have breached the ministerial code by failing to declare the HMRC investigation into his tax affairs.
An investigation by the prime minister’s ethics adviser, Sir Laurie Magnus, concluded that Zahawi had made a ‘serious breach’ of the code by not telling officials he was under investigation by the tax body when he was appointed chancellor by Boris Johnson.
He had also failed to officially declare that he paid a settlement to HMRC for tax avoidance when he was given cabinet positions by Liz Truss last September and when Sunak made him Tory chair and minister without portfolio in September.
