Rishi Sunak ordered a probe into Conservative Party Chairman Nadhim Zahawi’s tax affairs, as a fresh spate of allegations about financial impropriety in the ruling party undermined the UK prime minister’s pledge to run an administration that’s beyond reproach.
“Clearly in this case there are questions that need answering,” Sunak told reporters on a visit to central England on Monday. He said he’d asked Laurie Magnus, the government’s independent adviser on ministerial interests, “to get to the bottom of everything, to investigate the matter fully and establish all the facts.”
