Failure to sack Nadhim Zahawi shows Sunak hopelessly weak, says Starmer

Rishi Sunaks failure to sack Tory chairman Nadhim Zahawi over the HMRC investigation into his tax affairs shows he is hopelessly weak, Sir Keir Starmer has said.

The Labour leader used PMQs to attack the under-pressure former chancellor saying it was fairly obvious that someone who seeks to avoid tax cant also be in charge of tax.

Sir Keir said: His failure to sack him when the whole country knows whats going on shows how hopelessly weak he is.

A prime minister overseeing chaos, overwhelmed at every turn He cant even deal with tax avoiders in his own cabinet. Is he starting to wonder is this job is just too big for him? the Labour leader added.
