Responding to the news that Rishi Sunak is set to accept Boris Johnson's honours list, Liberal Democrat Deputy Leader Daisy Cooper MP said: 

"The fact that one of the most scandal-ridden Prime Ministers is now allowed to stuff his cronies in the Lords after a failed premiership tells the British public everything they need to know about this Conservative Party. 

"Boris Johnson caused crisis after crisis in this country - if Rishi Sunak rewards his failure it's just proof it is one rule for the Conservatives and another for everyone else. The buck stops with Sunak - he must ensure that Johnson's honours list is put through the shredder.”
