During an interview on BBC Newsnight, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Children and Families, Nadhim Zahawi insisted that removing a no-deal scenario is a “nonsense”. After a politically damaging week for the Conservative party, the Brexiteer MP was defiant in the face of the apparent perils of a no-deal scenario.
