NADHIM Zahawi has demanded that since he is sacked from the Cabinet because of his tax, he wants the £6 million back.
After resigning as Conservative chairman, Zahawi is taking legal action on the grounds that if he had known he would lose his job regardless he would have kept the money.
He said: “Think I would have forked over that kind of wedge to HMRC on no more than their say-so? Get to f**k.
“I’d have volunteered to pay say ten per cent of it, arranged payments through a holding company, liquidated it and claimed it as tax credits. You’d be bloody paying me.
“But because I was chairman, and minister for equalities before that, and chancellor but honestly I never even made it to the office, I acted like I was any ordinary person facing a tax bill and settled it in full.
“However I’m no longer any of those things at least until Boris gets back so I’m suing for the full amount. And you’ll be paying my legal costs, too.
“You don’t pay the fine and get the points on your licence anyway, do you? You do? F**k that.”
