AFP-YonhapBritish Prime Minister Rishi Sunak fired the chairman of the governing Conservative Party on Sunday for a "serious breach'' of ethics rules in failing to come clean about a tax dispute. Sunak had faced days of pressure to sack Nadhim Zahawi amid allegations he settled a multimillion-dollar unpaid tax bill while he was in charge of the country's Treasury. The prime minister acted after a standards probe found Zahawi had breached the ministerial code of conduct.
