Keir Starmer links Zahawi controversy to Sunak family’s taxes at PMQs

Labour leader and SNP make reference to former non-domiciled status of PM’s wife at question time in Commons

Rishi Sunak faced the impact of Nadhim Zahawi’s political woes first-hand at prime minister’s questions, as both Keir Starmer and the Scottish National party directly linked questions about the Tory party chair’s finances to the prime minister’s own family tax situation.

Sunak told the Commons he had not known about Zahawi’s multimillion-pound tax settlement with the HMRC until after the previous week’s PMQs, at which he said his cabinet colleague had “addressed the matter in full”.
