Nadhim Zahawi defends tweeting picture of homeless person in Mayfair

Nadhim Zahawi has defended tweeting a picture of a homeless person on the streets of Mayfair, London .

The former chancellor appeared on Good Morning Britain on Wednesday (4 September) and was confronted about the tweet, with many describing it as “tone-deaf”.

Mr Zahawi said: “I walk all over London. It could have been on Victoria Street and had the same thing happening. I am outraged at the human tragedy.

“It doesn’t matter if it is Mayfair, I was just trying to point it out to try and get people to help that individual.”
