Irish Examiner view: Can the last one out turn the lights off?

Another day and another Tory bigwig departs. This time, it's Nadhim Zahawi who has been sacked by his boss

Former British chancellor, then party chairman, Nadhim Zahawi, is the latest Tory to walk the plank.  

Another day and another Tory bigwig departs. With his team doing a passable imitation of Joseph Haydn’s ‘Symphony No. 45’ in F#minor, where every musician stops playing and leaves the stage one by one, Rishi Sunak may soon be standing alone with just his first violin.

Inevitably the former chancellor, then party chairman, Nadhim Zahawi has had to pack his bags, however reluctantly. What we learn from Downing Street’s ethics adviser is that there were seven occasions when the minister ignored opportunities to be candid about his tax affairs.
