Time for a look at the papers.
The OBSERVER reports that Rishi Sunak was warned of a reputational risk to the government, when he appointed Nadhim Zahawi as Conservative Party Chairman last October. Sources have told the paper that senior government officials gave Mr Sunak informal advice when he was drawing up his cabinet, and raised the HMRC investigation into Mr Zahawi's tax affairs. It's claimed Mr Sunak was told that the tax issue involved a significant sum of money and was "not a trivial accounting error." Number Ten has strongly denied that the Prime Minister was given any warning -- formal or informal -- about Mr Zahawi's finances.
According to the SUNDAY TELEGRAPH, support for Nadhim Zahawi among senior Tories is "rapidly draining away." One unnamed cabinet colleague is calling for him to resign -- telling the paper "I think he's got to go." Another former cabinet minister is quoted, saying it's crucial he steps down -- and given that he's not volunteering to leave, he "ought to be told." Mr Zahawi has insisted he acted properly.
The SUNDAY TIMES leads on an interview with the Housing Secretary, Michael Gove, who tells the paper that government guidance on building materials was partly to blame for the Grenfell Tower disaster. The paper says it's the first such concession by a minister -- more than five years after 72 people were killed in a devastating fire. Mr Gove says "unscrupulous" cladding firms were able to exploit a "broken system."
