Shaun Bailey enters Lords: Sunak must withdraw the Conservative whip
21 Jul 2023
EMBARGO: For Immediate Release
Commenting ahead of Shaun Bailey taking his place in the House of Lords today, Liberal Democrat Leader in the Lords Dick Newby commented:
“It beggars belief that Shaun Bailey is being allowed to take up his seat in the House of Lords, despite an ongoing police investigation into a potential law-breaking party by his mayoral campaign.
“Rishi Sunak refused to step in and stop Boris Johnson’s partygate honours list, showing just how weak he is.
“The very least Sunak could now is withdraw the Conservative whip from Bailey while this police investigation takes place.
“Anything less would show that yet again it’s one rule for Conservative politicians and another for everyone else.”
