PM will sack Zahawi if rule breach found, says Tory MP

Rishi Sunak will sack Conservative chair Nadhim Zahawi if he is judged to have “fallen foul” of the ministerial code, Tory trade minister Andrew Bowie has said. Conservative MPs told The Independent they believe that Mr Sunak was “increasingly irritated” with Mr Zahawi and was preparing to fire him if Sir Laurie Magnus’s probe into the tax saga found any wrongdoing.

The PM loses all credibility if Zahawi stays Tory chair

Rishi Sunak will have to sack Nadhim Zahawi, the Conservative Party chair. The only route to Sunak being a successful prime minister is for him to be \"not Boris Johnson\", and lift the shadow still being cast over the government by Johnson – who, after leaving office, has clearly not lost his love of being the centre of attention.

Menopausal women must be protected by employment law

Given the flood of menopausal women leaving the workplace, you might expect the women and equalities committee report to have received a series of enthusiastic ticks from the government, glad that the likes of MPs Caroline Nokes and Carolyn Harris had done the necessary legwork.
