Zahawi warns Tories they should ‘never be in same place’ as Alastair Campbell

Nadhim Zahawi has warned Tory MPs they should never “be in the same place” as Alastair Campbell.

The newly appointed chancellor has accused Tony Blair’s former director of communications of “egging on” Conservatives to turn on each other.
