Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has been called 'weak' for his poor handling of the Nadhim Zahawi scandal - but did you agree?

The Prime Minister finally sacked Conservative party chairman Nadhim Zahawi on January 29 after he was found guilty of breaching the Ministerial Code by failing to report HMRC's investigation into his tax affairs.

Sunak's judgment has been questioned by some Tory MPs, who believe Mr Zahawi should have been removed from office earlier and say the MP risks being embroiled in a series of scandals.

It comes as Rachel Reeves warned that the 'weak' prime minister is 'holding us back as a country' as she claimed the Tories are 'run out of time and out of ideas'.

The Shadow Chancellor added that Mr Sunak's decision not to sack Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab despite the growing list of bullying allegations against him "shows how weak he is".< /p>
