in the meantime, nadhim zahawi needs to step down as an mp because the people of stratford—upon—avonbetter. as long as we have people in government and in parliament over whom there are questions like this and have found to have broken the ministerial code, it is difficult for the public to have confidence in the process. he has broken the ministerial code, thatis has broken the ministerial code, that is what has been decided and the reason he has been fired by the prime minister. that doesn't mean you have to stand down as a member of parliament. you have to stand down as a minister, not always, it appears nowadays, but generally that is the case. but why does he then have to stand down as a member of parliament as well?— have to stand down as a member of parliament as well? there have been auestions parliament as well? there have been questions about _ parliament as well? there have been questions about his _ parliament as well? there have been questions about his behaviour, - parliament as well? there have been questions about his behaviour, we i questions about his behaviour, we

this is what voters in zahawi's constituency of stratford—upon—avon think. it's absolutely right. the independent adviser has said he hasn't been open, he hasn't been honest and he's failed in that test of leadership, and i think it brings shame on the town, shame on the country and shame on the party that he represents. well, i think it's obviously called for. you know, if he's tried to brush things on the carpet and not you know, if he's tried to brush things under the carpet and not declared certain things, then it's obviously deserved, isn't it? i was really pleased, to tell you the truth. i think he should have resigned when it all came out. _ i think he's making us... i don't know. he doesn't lead by example. no, that's right. and ifeel there's been questions about his conduct locally in various other things over the years and that people have been very dissatisfied with him. i think it's taken its time. i think sunak should have moved more quickly. i think he's been forced into the position. i think he should have gone a week ago, or whenever the stor
