abc.net.au/news/rishi-sunak-uk-pm-sacks-party-chairman-zahawi-over-tax-affairs/101905190British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has fired the Conservative Party chair Nadhim Zahawi from government after an investigation found he had been insufficiently open about a tax probe which he settled while finance minister.
Mr Zahawi has said the tax body ruled he had been "careless" with his declarations but hadn't deliberately made an error to pay less tax. "As a result, I have informed you of my decision to remove you from your position in His Majesty's Government." "We need to see all the papers not just have the Prime Minister's role in this brushed under the carpet," she said.
"I consider that this delay in correcting an untrue public statement is inconsistent with the requirement for openness," Mr Magnus said in a letter to Mr Sunak.
