the opposition say rishi sunak should have acted faster. this is very serious. nadhim zahawi has spent a long time dodging this. and i dojust think it speaks to rishi sunak s character and his judgment and his weakness. he isn t prepared to do what is right for the country. michael gove insisted the prime minister behaved appropriately. as a general rule, i think it is important when allegations are raised that they are investigated promptly but also we shouldn t rush tojudgment before there has been that investigation. in his reply to the prime minister s letter, nadhim zahawi said he had been concerned about the conduct of the press towards him. he added that it was the privilege of his life to serve in government. mr zahawi s life story is an incredible one. this will be a devastating chapter to look back on. in pakistan, at least 41 people have died after a bus plunged off a bridge. the accident happened in the south west of the country.
