Pressure is growing on Nadhim Zahawi - and the Prime Minister - over calls for the Conservative party chairman to step aside.

Mr Zahawi’s political life is hanging in the balance amid claims over his tax affairs.

Rishi Sunak faced tough questions over the controversy at PMQs - but the Prime Minister says the investigation he’s ordered from ethics adviser, Sir Laurie Magnus, will provide the answers.

The Evening Standard’s deputy political editor, David Bond, discusses the ramifications for Mr Zahawi and the Tory party.

In part two, Katie Strick, our commissioning editor and senior feature writer, looks at his life and career to date.
