Nadhim Zahawi settled tax issue with HMRC while he was chancellor, Sky News told

"This whole episode is deeply damaging to public trust, with a chancellor in charge of the nation's finances asking the public to pay their taxes while apparently having failed to do so himself.

"His position is clearly untenable. Every hour that Rishi Sunak refuses to sack him shows just how weak the prime minister is."James Cleverly insisted Mr Zahawi will survive in his post until at least Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday. The foreign secretary claimed to know nothing of his cabinet colleague's tax position beyond Mr Zahawi's statement when he was repeatedly pressed on Sky News' Sophy Ridge On Sunday.Foreign secretary unsure on Zahawi taxes

Other Tories including former party leader Iain Duncan Smith said Mr Zahawi must share more information. The spotlight on Mr Zahawi's tax affairs comes at a challenging time for the prime minister, who on Friday was fined by police forMeanwhile, fresh accusations of sleaze have been levelled at the Conservative party amid claims BBC chairman Richard Sharp helped Boris Johnson secure a loan - weeks before the then-prime minister recommended him for the role.

And talk himself into a 12 year prison sentence. No ….he’s going for the Russian approach ie deny deny deny and only cough wha can be proved

why do you never ask these hypocrites about there past actions

Oh the irony

Me or you would be jailed Conservatives corrupt to the core. Get them out now !!! GE the only way.

Unbelievable - the bloke was Chancellor at the time of negotiating his tax settlement & penalty. The stench of corruption & incompetence surrounding this government is sickening.

That's right Nadhim...wave bye bye....

This should be part if the Freedom Of Information act, so we need to wait until then

The fact remains 'he' has the very best accountants doing all his tax affairs and yet enormous mistakes were made?! All sounds dodgy Mr Zahawi doesn't it?! hmrc ToryCorruption ToryTaxEvasion Conservatives RishiSunak nadhimzahawi

Sleekit wee beastie

And to think this 'careless' charlatan tried to become PM. Imagine what chaos he would have been. Instead we got Sunak ha ha so much better - not

He should be charged and if he gets more then 12 months he can be deported back to Iraq!

If there was a fine then he was in breach.

Hello. Hello. Mr Zahawi at it again.

HE SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING AND RESIGN NOW - HE CANNOT BE TRUSTED LIKE MOST OF THE TORY MINISTERS NOW

You can’t have a chancellor, in charge of taxes, receiving over £1million fine from the bloody tax office!! Why RishiSunak isn’t telling him to resign is beyond me, weakness?

They are all corrupt and immoral, serving only themselves. UK population is one the highest taxed in the world while these ‘politicians’reap windfall after windfall. UK politics needs a deep clean. Now.

HMRC disagreed with allocation of shares .

Zahawi acknowledges being ' careless ' with taxes .

Agreeing to it and paying it are two different things. Has he actually paid, or just agreed?

Also, he's terrible at shadow puppets

Conservative Party chairman determined to stay on , say allies .

Frankly he should do the decent thing and resign . Mistakes are no defence.

I'd say call a general election but that would mean a Labour government so we are f%ked either way

he was dealing with HMRC.. that as chancellor he was responsible for.. he was their boss! HELLO!!!

He’s toast (if someone can afford to turn the toaster on )

PM - do the right thing…

Someone should tell him to cease and desist and then to cease and desist with the cease and desists.

Labour media twisting as much as it can

This is because fraud is illegal and people who commit it should be in prison.

We need a public hearing to get to the bottom of the facts and what is expected in public office. Then a big sponge to mop his sweat!

How does a chancellor not understand tax returns. Got to resign surely
