Kit Malthouse, a former deputy mayor to Boris Johnson, said of the chancellor's political future, that it was 'of secondary importance to what happens to the country'.
He said Ms Murty's announcement that she had decided to pay UK taxes on all her income showed she had accepted that there was a"sense of disquiet" about the situation and she had"moved to correct it"."She is a non-combatant in the political fray but I think both she and Rishi have recognised that that situation was not one that was favourable and it was distracting from the overall message.
The minister said his understanding was that the status was a"hangover from that time" that Mr Sunak had lived in America and that very often the green card"just lapses and gets removed". Mr Malthouse told the BBC, on the non-dom status revelations, that"obviously it's not a brilliant time for it to come out" and"seemed to be anomalous to lots of people" while offending"a British sense of fair play".
On the chancellor's future political prospects, he said:"What happens to him in future will be of secondary importance to what happens to the country."
