Скачать или смотреть Nadhim Zahawi defects to Reform UK as Ex-Tory chancellor backs Nigel Farage to be PM

Former Conservative chancellor Nadhim Zahawi has joined Reform UK, he has announced.

The former MP and minister, who also led the Conservative government’s vaccine programme in the early days of the pandemic, said Britain was “drinking at the last chance saloon” and “really does need Nigel Farage as prime minister”.

Mr Zahawi announced his defection at a press conference in central London on Monday, where he appeared alongside Reform UK leader Mr Farage.

Mr Farage insisted the ex-Tory big beast’s move to his party helped to dispel suggestions Reform UK was a “one-man band”.

Mr Zahawi was sacked as Conservative Party chairman in 2023 after he was found to have breached the ministerial code over his tax affairs.

He later confirmed he paid a nearly £5 million penalty to HMRC in order to settle the matter.
