In an interview this morning, Conservative MP Tobias Ellwood would not be drawn on whether Nadhim Zahawi should stand down over the issues surrounding his tax affairs, joking: “Isn’t it time for the weather now?”
On BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, Ellwood was asked if the current controversy was a distraction for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
“The fact you’re still asking these questions shows, yes, it is a distraction," he replied.
“We should be continuing our discussion on Ukraine and you’re asking me now about another issue to do with the Conservative Party."
The issue surrounding Zahawi’s tax affairs “should have perhaps been slid across to the ethics adviser much sooner”, he said.
“Nobody knows the full picture...apart from Nadhim Zahawi and of course the HMRC,” Ellwood added.
“Let's allow the [ethics advisor’s] report to land and then we’ll have to take things from there."
