Zahawi told to quit - amid 'evidence' TV interview defence was 'not true' | Live updates
Rishi Sunak has asked his independent ethics adviser to investigate Nadhim Zahawi.
On the same story, Richard Sharp, the BBC chairman, has asked for a review into his appointment after claims he helped Boris Johnson secure a loan. "Sam Blythe, who I have known for more than forty years, lives in London and having become aware of the financial pressures on the then prime minister, and being a successful entrepreneur, he told me he wanted to explore whether he could assist."
Mr Sharp says he afterwards had no more involvement with the process to"avoid any conflict of interest" - as agreed with Cabinet Secretary Simon Case. From an Iraqi-refugee who spoke no English to a multi-millionaire businessman and cabinet minister, Nadhim Zahawi's story is one of the most compelling in Westminster.
He suggested it was run in Gibraltar as his father was based abroad, with Hareth also providing guidance and capital to the project; "He has stated that the mistake was 'careless and not deliberate'. Should the prime minister dismiss him from his cabinet position?"Zahawi 'should resign' as 'evidence' showed he told public something 'not true' - tax expert
Mr Zahawi told Kay he was"clearly being smeared" over questions about his affairs - and that he did not"benefit" from an"offshore trust". He was speaking to Sky News following the allegations about Nadhim Zahawi's tax affairs and the reporting that the BBC chairman helped Boris Johnson secure a loan guarantee before being recommended for the job when Mr Johnson was PM.
