Jacob Rees-Mogg said the former PM is extraordinarily popular. "People stop their cars to get out and talk to him and stop their vans and so on."
An inquiry by new ethics adviser Sir Laurie Magnus is expected to be far-reaching and potentially damning.
The former PM will get a £500,000 advance for his upcoming memoir, but taxpayers will shoulder a £222,000 bill for his partygate defence.
Since the last session, a former PM has been found out for using the BBC chairman as a financial fixer, a former Chancellor has been nailed for not getting his tax sums right and there's also the small matter of his own run-in with the police!
An investigation into Zahawi could look into whether he lied to the media. Judging by this clip, he could be in big trouble.
"Which is more embarrassing a former Prime Minister using the chairman of the BBC as a financial fixer or a former Chancellor who can't get his tax sums right?"
Zahawi's own website boasts that YouGov became famous for the “accuracy of its political polling”.
Blimey, was there really no-one else available? The BBC and Laura Kuenssberg have been accused of creating a conflict of interest on Sunday.
