How Fleet Street approached the growing storm around Nadhim Zahawi and Richard Sharp, the Daily Mail laments the rise of 'something for nothing' Britain and front page of the fortnight.
Zahawi & Sharp: Fleet Street’s differing approaches to gathering storm
Well, well! The BBC has woken up. Monday’s main television news bulletin
not only led on Nadhim Zahawi’s tax tangles, but followed it up with
concerns about the appointment of Richard Sharp as the corporation’s
chairman.
In both cases, there had been a concrete development in stories that had
been rumbling for days: Rishi Sunak calling for an ethics inquiry into
Zahawi’s finances and another official investigation into whether the
public appointments commission had had all the facts – most particularly
whether Sharp facilitated an £800,000 loan for Boris Johnson – when it gave
Sharp the BBC job.
