Tory Lords bosses have been urged to step in and prevent the failed Mayoral candidate accepting a peerage within two weeks while police are probing his ‘jingle and mingle’ bash
Labour last night launched a last-ditch bid to block Partygate Tory Shaun Bailey being made a Lord for life within two weeks while police are probing his “jingle and mingle” bash.
Conservative bosses in the unelected upper chamber have been urged to stop the failed Mayoral candidate accepting a peerage, set up for him by disgraced former PM Boris Johnson.
The Metropolitan Police re-opened their investigation into the 2020 Christmas party at Conservative HQ, after the Sunday Mirror published the first shocking video footage of Tory staff drinking, dancing and laughing at Covid regulations.
But Mr Bailey is set to be handed a seat for life in the House of Lords in less than two weeks, after Mr Johnson named him on his crony resignation honours list. Rishi Sunak has insisted he can’t stop Mr Bailey taking his seat in the upper chamber – and it’s almost impossible to remove a peer once they take the oath.
