He was judged to have made an honest mistake with his tax return and paid what was owed plus a penalty sum.   The gentleman has paid millions in tax over the years making a huge contribution to the treasury.  You should be grateful for him.

So if it was an "honest mistake" why did he threaten journalists who had information about his tax affairs???

Apparently he wrote an autobiography called "The Boy from Baghdad : My Journey from Waziriyah to Westminster".

 

After he announced his resignation, he wrote on Twitter:

"Every morning as I shave my head in the mirror, I have to pinch myself. How is it that a boy from Baghdad who came to these shores, fleeing persecution and unable to speak a word of English, was able to do as much as I have?"

Oh it's because you're so wonderful Nadhim! - I must recline on my chaise lounge, and gaze dreamily in my hand mirror, at all the money and wealth I have, and laugh at the poor suckers who pay the electricity bill for the wife's horses stables. 

 

Still the Spectator magazine wasted no time in ripping into him

You obviously have a chip on your shoulder and are jealous of the  great achievements that the boy from Baghdad has made in our country.

If I was going to be jealous of anyone's achievements in politics, it would be those of the 1945-1951 Government, who are regularly honoured for their pioneering vision.

Not everyone is jealous for money and wealth like you are Axe, especially when attached to a figure as preening and ridiculous as Zahawi.

If those two spring into action it will be another fine mess.  Laurel and Hardy spring to mind.  Enough said.

I quite like the idea of Sir Keir and Angie as Batman & Robin.😀
