Cabinet ministers will be fired for any future breaches of the ministerial code, the prime minister's allies have vowed after Nadhim Zahawi was acrimoniously sacked.
Zahawi was sacked within an hour of Sir Laurie's report being presented to the PM.
Zahawi allies say the report was rushed out for Sunak's own political reasons, The Telegraph reported, and that the ex-party chairman, chancellor and vaccines minister was not given a fair trial. He wrote: "It has been, after being blessed with my loving family, the privilege of my life to serve in successive Governments and make what I believe to have been a tangible difference to the country I love.
