The sack race

Over the weekend, in a move that surprised few, the PM sacked Chairman of the Party, Nadhim Zahawi ​for breaking the Ministerial Code in 7 different ways.

I mean if you're gonna be bad, be really bad.

But, what this shows, that in the end, the constitution worked here.

And the reporting of his crimes in tax avoidance was made public.

But that final part was threatened, but Nadhim Zahawi threatening reporters if they were to print those stories. It should not be wrong for reporters to publish stories that are reporting fact, not that the rich use the courts to silence uncomfortable stories.

Last year, the UK Government allowed the head of Russia's private army, Wagner Group, to break sanctions and sue a UK based reporter for a story, which turned out to be true. That such actions had to be specially allowed by the Government in the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine tells you all you really need to know about where the Conservative Party gets their money and do favours for.

Sunak appointed Nadhim Zahawi even after a lot of what turned out to be true was revealled. There were warnings even if Nadhim Zahawi denied them. On record.

Sunak was supposed to have ushered in a new era of responsible and honest Government.

Well, that hasn't lasted 100 days.

What we need now is the application of the Ministerial Code to be used to the same standard to the rest of the Cabinet, and get honesty back into UK Politics and Government.

But not holding my breath on that one
