James Cleverly has said it is ‘right and proper’ that politicians’ tax affairs should be kept out of the public eye.

It was claimed Mr Zahawi, who was chancellor for two months last year,an estimated £1.1 million penalty and £3.7 million in back tax due to an ‘error’ relating to shares in YouGov, the polling company he co-founded.

‘So, I think that, you know, the rules that we apply to others, I think it is legitimate to also apply to politicians. In an earlier interview with Sky’s Sophy Ridge, Mr Cleverly evaded questions on whether Mr Zahawi had negotiated the tax settlement with HMRC while he was chancellor.Mr Cleverly was also asked about reports that Tory donor Richard Sharp helped Boris Johnsonon a loan of up to £800,000 weeks before the then-prime minister recommended him for the role of BBC chair.
