Nadhim Zahawi has been removed from Government after he was found to have committed a ‘serious breach’ of ministerial rules. The now ex-Tory chairman has been mired in a row over his tax affairs after paying a penalty to HMRC. Rishi Sunak wrote to him: ‘Following the completion of the Independent Adviser’s investigation – the findings of which he has shared with us both – it is clear that there has been a serious breach of the Ministerial Code. As a result, I have informed you of my decision to remove you from your position in His Majesty’s Government.’
