Almost certainly this is just to kick the ball In to the long grass. He's lied, threatened legal action in response to genuine questions of probity and has now had to pay a penalty charge for non payment of tax.....obviously not a resignation matter post-Johnson. Any Minister would have walked for this pre-Johnson and this is what we are left with nowadays, criminals at the head of government.

Feels a bit like getting the cash back from Lady Mone, pretend to do something to try and douse the flames, but nothing will happen

Doesn't matter how may times they rearrange this Brexit cabal cabinet, it's still the same bunch of lying, self serving, narcissistic, nefarious little shits playing musical chairs :shrug:

Nadhim Zahawi ‘misled officials over David Cameron’s Greensill messages’​


Nadhim Zahawi failed to tell officials that he had exchanged WhatsApp messages with David Cameron when the former PM was contacting ministers about Greensill Capital loans, it has been reported. The Tory chair – fighting for his political life after admitting he had to settle a tax dispute with HMRC – wrongly told investigators that he had not exchanged messages with Mr Cameron, according to The Times.

A probe by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) found that Mr Zahawi did not tell officials about messages from Mr Cameron looking for help with contact details, the newspaper said. Mr Zahawi later admitted messages were exchange – but said they had been deleted, after their existence was established and the ICO returned to ask him again about the communication.

All the information about them and their various histories was in the public domain when the country decided 'This is exactly what we need to run the country for the next 5 years'. It wasn't as if we weren't warned :dunce:

Speaking as an accountant, what chance have we -or HMRC - got at explaining to taxpayers how to do the right thing when the bloke at the top of the pile is evading tax?

Silly old bat
The last three Chancellors of the Exchequer

KK wrecked the economy to the tune of billions within a week
NZ has had to pay a penalty for unpaid tax despite issuing a SLAPP against journalists revealing it and was also non dom status for a few years
RS has a wife who is non dom status but has since paid some tax on it.

This country is corrupt. There is no other way of describing it. We are being asset stripped

Yep.

This government don’t need voting out. They need kicking out.

What, by nutters storming parliament in a Trump stylee? Nah, they need kicking out by democratic means ie via a vote
Call me paranoid, but I can readily envisage this shower of shambolic shite postponing the 2024 election if they are still languishing in the opinion polls and facing a heavy defeat - they'll justify it on the grounds that the economic or international situation urgently need continuity and stability, and that these would be jeopardised by the distraction of a general election and the likelihood of an 'inexperienced' or 'unpatriotic' government.

There are no depths to which this corrupt cabal of venal vampires would not plumb in order to cling to power and defend their rich supporters.

Not calling you paranoid by any means, and I largely share your concerns. But there's no way they'd dare f*ck with the electoral process, much as they'd love to

This. In order to postpone, they would have to legislate. And that legislation would have to go for royal assent. As much as the royal assent has become nothing more than a traditional piece of theatrics, the Tories would essentially be daring the King to trigger a constitutional crisis by denying assent.

Just beggars belief really.

Zahawi paid no tax on £27m (TWENTY SEVEN MILLION POUNDS) of his income. And when he's found out, he gets away with it, by paying a penalty on the grounds that he was careless and not fraudulent.
And through it all, he lies to the press, and threatens legal action against the people who found him out.

Us ordinary mortals would have had the book (and probably jail) thrown at us.

But he still remains the Chairman of the Condervative Party.

A Party, that as we stand, would still have over 30% of the electorate vote for it.

As I say, beggars belief really 😨😨😨😨

I don't think a lot of people would believe the sense of entitlement that is at the heart of this cabal. I was ranting to a friend last week, who is far closer and more involved in this stuff, about the complete contempt and utter disdain that they have for the rest of Britain, outside of their own cabal and it's financial backers.

His reply ? If you think that's bad, you should hear the contempt and disdain they have for the rest of the conservative party and their voters :lolol:

Important to remember that this was all going on with the "Stable Warmer" while he was Chancellor, surely the ultimate conflict of interest.

Wow, that's what I call public service. We really have fallen far and fast, Johnson may be gone but his legacy lives on.
Someone sacked for criticising the government - I thought the Tories and their press poodles disapproved of Cancel Culture; where is the Ministerial and media outrage at this suppression of free-speech, and someone's career being abruptly terminated?!
