‘Do the right thing’: Zahawi letter urging Johnson to resign resurfaces as Tory chair clings on

Nadhim Zahawi’s letter to Boris Johnson calling on him to “do the right thing” and resign has resurfaced as he fights for his political life following a damaging set of revelations about his tax arrangements.

Mr Zahawi, Stratford-on-Avon MP and Tory chairman, called on the former prime minister to quit over his handling of the Chris Pincher affair and a number of other scandals.

“Prime minister: this is not sustainable and it will only get worse: for you, for the Conservative Party and most importantly of all the country. You must do the right thing and go now,” Mr Zahawi told the former PM - just two days after agreeing to become his chancellor.
