‘He should resign’: Stratford-on-Avon constituents on Zahawi tax scandal

Residents in Warwickshire town give their views on growing controversy around local Tory MP’s tax affairs

The market town of Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire has been a Conservative stronghold for well over a hundred years, with its current MP, Nadhim Zahawi, securing a majority of about 20,000 in three successive general elections.

But it was difficult to find support for the beleaguered MP on the streets of Stratford on Wednesday, and most locals said they thought he should resign over the scandal around his tax affairs.
