Met Police and CCHQ party: Bailey should not be allowed to join Lords while under investigation

Responding to the news the Met Police are reopening their investigation into a party held at CCHQ, Liberal Democrat Deputy Leader Daisy Cooper said:

“Once again Conservative politicians are facing allegations they broke the rules we were all asked to follow.

“Rishi Sunak needs to confirm he will call for honours to be stripped from anyone found to have broken the law. Anything less would make a complete mockery of his pledge to lead with integrity.

“He should also step in to stop Shaun Bailey from taking his seat as a peer while this investigation takes place. There's no way that Shaun Bailey should be allowed to join the House of Lords while he's under police investigation."
