Rishi Sunak, the UK Prime Minister, is facing scrutiny over his use of a private jet last April, which was rented by an entrepreneur currently involved in a civil fraud case related to his loss-making start-up. The entrepreneur, identified as Akhil Tripathi, is also linked to a controversial anti-snoring device business. A detailed investigation has raised questions about Sunak's connections to Tripathi, especially after it was revealed that Sunak sent a hand-written thank-you letter to Tripathi last May for the private jet donation but later removed Tripathi's name as the source of that donation in June. The Labour Party is now demanding Sunak to provide a 'full and honest account' of his dealings with Tripathi.

I’m not sure Nadhim Zahawi, who was sacked a year ago for not being entirely upfront about his tax avoidance, should be advising the government about tax avoidance policy. https://t.co/0HsE0IXQ3B

This latest investigation by @PickardJE leaves one simple question: if Rishi Sunak sent a hand-written letter to Akhil Tripathi last May thanking him for his private jet donation, why did he remove Tripathi's name as the source of that donation in June? https://t.co/u8cJ7KDIwu
it’s fair to say Rishi Sunak has a few unanswered questions over the flights he took last April in a private jet rented by an entrepreneur who is now embroiled in a civil fraud case surrounding his loss-making start-up https://t.co/aISJmGcLyz
