Surely...

Neither Nadim Zahawi or Richard Sharp should be in post by the end of this week. In the previous century, both would have resigned by now. 

The chairmanship of the Tory Party is a non-job, a sinecure 'running' Central Office. Some holders have also been made 'Ministers without Portfolio'.  Mr Zahawi's base for that is the Cabinet Office, and he attends Cabinet. Rishi will sack him if he doesn't walk. 

Mr Sharp, who has been learning fast but not fast enough about journalism, should have been on Today at 0810 if he really thinks his position is tenable and defensible. There'll be a modicum of support for him at Executive level in the BBC, as he's gone native and thinks it's all, generally, wonderful.  But even Editor-in-chief Tim Davie must realise he's a goner.
