      How Nadhim Zahawi sealed his own fate by alienating Rishi Sunak in crucial final days in office

      It was Nadhim Zahawi who was the author of his own downfall, after months when the row over his taxes rumbled on quietly in the background of politics. Throughout two leadership elections and the chaos of the Liz Truss era, Mr Zahawi largely ignored questions about his dealings with HMRC – except when he took time to fire off legal letters to the journalists and tax experts who posed those questions. But when he broke cover last weekend, admitting that he had paid a penalty to HMRC over an error that was “careless but not deliberate”, he sealed his fate. Rishi Sunak was privately angry that he had been repeatedly misled, having been told – both by Mr Zahawi himself and by the…
