Nadhim Zahawi - Sacked
Well done to Sir Laurie Magnus whose damning verdict on Nadhim Zahawi has resulted in the Conservative minister being sacked for falling below the high standards expected of those who serve in the UK Government.
Meanwhile in Scotland Nicola Sturgeon remains judge and jury on matters relating to the behaviour of SNP/Green ministers and the Scottish Government's ministerial code.
The damning verdict from Sir Laurie Magnus' investigation:

Scotland's Ministerial Code (Week 10) - Just Sayin'! (January 24, 2023)
Good luck to Sir Laurie Magnus who has been given the job of investigating claims that Nadhim Zahawi broke the ministerial code - at Westminster.
I hope he comes up with the right answers without fear or favour.
Meanwhile, in Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon (aka 'a supporter of open government' and 'champion of democracy') acts as judge and jury over any claims that her ministers may have broken the ministerial code.
"The Independent Adviser on Ministers’ Interests is appointed by the Prime Minister to advise him on matters relating to the Ministerial Code. The post holder is independent of government and expected to provide impartial advice to the Prime Minister."
Just sayin'!
