Na Dim Zahawi.

As the article says, probably set up by Denis or Mark Thatcher, who was involved in some very dodgy dealings, including the arms trade, I believe. Not heard of Mark Thatcher for years now, possibly living a life of luxury funded by investments based in the British Virgin Islands!

People like Mark Thatcher never change. However much money they have they will always want more and no scruples about how they get it either. Last thing I heard about him was when he got a mention a few years back in the Pandora Papers scandal. As for Zahawi, he embodies so much that is wrong with the more recent top echelon Tories. Given the evidence mounting up against him Sunak really didn't have much choice in getting shot of him. Also see that Carol Vordeman has been almost equally scathing of former pal Michelle Mone over allegations of corruption. If true (which seems likely) Mone should be stripped of her OBE. I know corruption and positions of power often to hand in hand but this recent bunch of Tories really are outgoing themselves.
