PM says his sacking of Zahawi shows he will take ‘whatever steps are necessary’ to restore integrity to politics
Rishi Sunak has dismissed claims that Nadhim Zahawi was unfairly treated after he was sacked for breaking the ministerial code in a row over his tax affairs, saying his government was committed to integrity.
Senior MPs have privately suggested that Sunak’s action against Zahawi meant there could be no way back for the deputy prime minister, Dominic Raab – the subject of 24 bullying complaints.
