Not so fast.
During Wednesday’s PMQ the PM stated the investigation would conclude around the end of next week. (Due process and all that).
And yet here we are reading news of Zahawi being sacked this morning, so presumably the ‘investigation’ (we are told ‘Due Process’) suddenly went into hyper-drive.
What might have brought about such a change in speed?
Perhaps it’s the news now being reported that Sunak was informed of Zahawi’s problems months back and before Sunak appointed him.
This becomes a bit of a problem for Sunak who’s official spokesperson has made statements to Parliament that Sunak had no prior knowledge of Zahawi’s tax problems.
This might not be a problem for Sunak if he had solid backing on his own benches, but he does not, many on the right of the party want him gone.
What a right Tory mess this is.
