  1. Was just now reading about Zahawi’s oil interests in Middle East Eye’s [*UK, US turn blind eye to Islamic State oil sales*](https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/uk-us-turn-blind-eye-islamic-state-oil-sales) from 2015, and their more recent [*Nadhim Zahawi: From Jeffrey Archer’s ‘Lemon Kurd’ to UK chancellor*](https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/nadim-zahawi-kurd-iraq-uk-chancellor) from today, which links to the Mirror’s [*Tory minister Nadhim Zahawi pockets fortune from second job at oil company*](https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/tory-minister-nadhim-zahawi-pockets-25457511) from 2021.

    Probably something else, but interesting reading nonetheless..

  2. Nobody is going to bother reading the article? Specifically the bit that claims the investigation found no wrong doing?

    Or are we just going to blindly spread fake news because it suits our agenda ?

  3. To be fair, the first line of this article says there was nothing worrying or wrong.

    I hate the tories as much as anyone, but let’s rise above fake news and speculation. Otherwise we’re in a boy who cried wolf situation where other important stuff is brushed aside – we going end up with the bipartisan BS attitudes of the US.

  4. I would expect nothing less – surely it’s standard practice for every MP, let alone CotE.

    The article specifically says no wrong doing.

    Being careful not to become what we all hate – it invalidates our complaints about the real utter nonsense this government is doing.

  5. Not really what you want to hear on your first day on the job, but surely they were vetted as an mp and everything was ok’d with big Boris.

  6. >Exclusive: The NCA inquiry did not lead to any action against Zahawi and there was no suggestion of wrongdoing

    Literally quoting the link.

    The left are so fucking racist they can’t bear the thought of a non-white person rising to positions of power.

  7. When people said they did not want Zahawi to remain as education minister, this is not what they had in mind. It still seems that ministers fail up within the Tory party and that education ministers can be god-awful (Gove, Williamson and now Zahawi) and still come out smelling of roses.

  8. This is legit the first time I’ve even seen the guys face (not been watching the news just been reading what’s been happening) and he’s already in the shitter lmao

  9. I’d say they’re running out of non-evil people, but that suggests they were ever interested in non-evil people.
