Rishi Sunak says 'no issues' raised about Nadhim Zahawi tax affairs before cabinet appointment

Former Conservative Party chairman Jake Berry has called for Nadhim Zahawi to resign amid the furore around his tax affairs.

Speaking on BBC’s Question Time on Thursday, Mr Zahawi’s predecessor said the current chairman should “step aside.”

Mr Berry said it was “unsustainable” for any minister to stay in post while being investigated.
