  1. Then there was the occasion #NadhimZahawi was found to have claimed for heating his stables at the tax payers expense.....

    Some people were calling him a crook

    Not me, £3.5 thousand was quite a reasonable sum to charge to keep his horses warm.

    And it was only "carelessness" HIS WORDS that saw him forced to pay HMRC nearly £5 million in unpaid tax (inclusive of a penalty) while he was, er, the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

    Gorgeous goatee, though

    Decent chap

  2. Just looking back through things

    The defence #NadhimZahawi used when he was sacked about his offshore trust fund that he created in the Cayman Islands, the one where he deposited £45,000 was that he did it. ...

    .... by accident!

    (Fair play really, I have a vague memory of dropping 65 grand in The Bahamas but not sure when. ......)

  3. "Zahawi explains why he no longer stands by 2015 tweet saying he would be 'frightened' to live in UK run by Farage"

    Shallow, shape-shifting grifters, the lot of them.

    "... paid millions of pounds in taxes in this country ..."

    Only because you got caught *not* paying, sunshine.

  4. #NadhimZahawi the minister who was sacked for breaching the Ministerial Code should feel right at home in a party of chancers and racists

  6. Retired from politics, still a scumbag - nice to see he’s consistent . Why yes he did try to evade tax offshore, and yes he did claim expenses to heat his horses stable when an MP - but yeah homeless people in Mayfair !!! Lock them up !

  7. Without explanation as to why, and without apology for doing so, nor remorse publically uttered, proven tax-dodger, #NadhimZahawi has been re-selected as the Conservative candidate for Stratford-Upon-Avon.

  8. This was a #donaldtrump response out of the box! #dominicraab hits out at 'activist civil servants' after resignation . If the bar was set very low why was the panel then kicked out so many other allegations but kept only two? #borisjohnson only appointed disfunctional and corrupt personalities in his government and now we have to deal with each one of them. Some of them couldn’t articulate a political argument #pritipatel #jacobreesmogg #suellabraverman #nadhimzahawi #matthancock #nadinedorries bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-653 I have left out many more

  9. The skewed #tax system is (again) revealed by the underlying #tax resolution in the #NadhimZahawi 'scandal'... as Arun Advani argues, the system currently taxes #capitalgains more lightly than income (hence Zahawi's effective 14% tax rate - leaving aside his penalty - when he finally paid it)... but it doesn't have to be like this & indeed in the past capital gains & income were taxed at the same rate which is hardly manifestly unfair... so as Advani points why not again!

  10. Well this is awkward but not surprising. #Sunaks wife’s family firm in dispute with HMRC. I wonder if they’ll have to pay a penalty like disgraced, dishonest #nadhimZahawi?

  15. @jaycee

    agreed - and yet you can see he has a puppy-like desire to be liked......

    That ship has sailed long since, #mattHancock - why not go full #pantoVillain like your erstwhile colleague #nadhimZahawi ?

    #toriesOut

  16. #NadhimZahawi (via his 'allies') is claiming he was mistreated & unfairly maligned in the recent spat & sacking over his #tax affairs;

    What I find so galling about this, is despite the clear evidence that he misled, lied & then tried to use lawyers to cover his tracks, he still thinks he's hard done by.

    If you wanted an example of the entitlement(s) our political elite think they deserve this would be it: they're like a bunch of privileged kids whining the toys have been taken from them

  17. CW: ‘Voters will make those decisions’ - will Zahawi resign as Stratford-upon-Avon MP?

    Nadhim Zahawi: sacked Tory chair’s Stratford upon Avon constituency, where is he MP - will he resign over tax scandal?

  18. #NadhimZahawi wanted to be a PM! It goes to show how deep the corruption lies within the #tory party. The party is riddled with corruption. #BorisJohnson and #dominiccummings have destroyed the #UK political arena #rishisunak #GavinWilliamson #SuellaBraverman #dominicraab #matthancock #nadinedorries

  19. #RishiSunak and his demons – a cartoon by Chris Riddell in The Observer, 29th January 2023.

    Inquiries into #Partygate, #NadhimZahawi, #DominicRaab, and the #BBCChairman… how does the #PrimeMinister sleep at night?

  20. This is the letter from the government Ethics Advisor. It's well worth a read.

    Disgraced #nadhimZahawi was claiming that, even though he was being asked questions by HMRC, he *didn't realise* that he was under investigation and therefore didn't need to declare it. This is just risibly shit.

    We're being governed by liars and idiots, aren't we?

    Who's next?

    Suggested #AltText for this #cartoon to make it more accessible:

    Rishi Sunak is depicted greeting arrivals at Chequers. Jacob Rees-Mogg is entering the doorway while Jeremy Hunt awaits his turn, both holding a “Cabinet Away Day” invitation. Rishi, looking distinctly uncomfortable is saying “Innocent error” to Nadhim Zahawi whose invitation reads “Go Away Day”

  25. ITV News: The importance of HMRC comments on the Nadhim Zahawi case

    itv.com/news/2023-01-26/the-im

    Public Accounts Committee
    Thursday 26 January 2023
    Jim Harra CB, Chief Executive and First Permanent Secretary, HM Revenue and Customs questioned re tax affairs of ministers at the beginning of the session.

  26. While ‘they’ investigate #NadhimZahawi for tax evasion and #BorisJohson (again) for improper conduct (again) did I miss the report findings into #DominicRabb and the bullying accusations? It’s not like I think they’re all as bad as each other and deserved to be booted out and prosecuted, but one would be nice

  27. Why the HELL does the #BBC even need any political appointments of any flavour?

    It should be completely unbiased.

    Why do we even need to point this out?

    Also #NadhimZahawi is a #TaxDodger, pass it on.

  28. #RishiSunakPM has now ordered his (new) ethics advisor to 'get to the bottom' of #NadhimZahawi's tax affairs, which as #DominicGrieve notes involves an unprecedented negotiation between HMRC & a sitting Chancellor!

    Later this week, Sunak will say he has 'full confidence' in Zahawi before sacking him (perhaps over the weekend).

    Its clear Sunak will sacrifice Zahawi to try to maintain a semblance of 'professionalism' & 'integrity' for his Govt. (although for many, that's a lost cause already)

  29. The takeaway from #SophyRidge's interrogation of #JamesCleverly this morning is that England's current foreign minister hasn't a clue about anything in particular. It's an intriguing approach to PR from the government, I must say.

  30. Is it possible to be even a little bit in love with a tax lawyer? Possibly, when his name is #DanNeidle and he’s just managed to nail #NadhimZahawi for tax evasion #WhatAHero

    When I said Nadhim Zahawi owed the taxman, he set his lawyers on me. Now he’s handed over millions
