Priti Patel is being tipped for a seat in the House of Lords, openDemocracy has learnt.
The controversial former home secretary’s name has come up in formal discussions about Boris Johnson’s ‘resignation honours’ list, which is distinct from the already-leaked political honours list the former prime minister is expected to nominate.
Last week, the Daily Telegraph reported the names of 25 new peers who are expected to be created, with the 15 Conservatives including Tory donor Michael Hintze and Daily Mail editor Paul Dacre.
