Lib Dems: Sack Zahawi now
23 Jan 2023
EMBARGO: Immediate Release
Responding to the news that Rishi Sunak has asked his independent ethics adviser to look into the tax affairs of Nadhim Zahawi, Liberal Democrat Deputy Leader Daisy Cooper MP said:
"The gear-change from ‘nothing to see here’ to ordering a major ethics investigation in just a few days, puts Sunak’s own judgment in the spotlight once again.
"If Sunak won’t do the decent thing and sack Zahawi, the least he can do is suspend him for the duration of the investigation."
