The Daily Mirror brands the Conservative Party “rotten to the core” following the PM’s decision to sack Nadhim Zahawi over his run in with HMRC, claiming the party is “engulfed by sleaze”.

The paper quotes one Tory as saying: “You cannot move for dirt”. The prime minister is also criticised for “failing to do the right thing earlier”.

The paper also features a story on Dame Esther Rantzen who is battling lung cancer.
