Sunak: Boris asked me to bend rules on honours list – tough!

Rishi Sunak has accused Boris Johnson of asking him to “overrule” a panel vetting his resignation list appointments to the House of Lords.

But Mr Johnson has hit back in a fiery statement, accusing Mr Sunak of “talking rubbish”.

The House of Lords Appointments Commission (HOLAC) has confirmed it rejected eight of the former prime minister’s nominations.

The intervention marks a new point in an escalating war of words over Mr Johnson’s controversial resignation honours list.

Boris Johnson announced he was quitting Parliament on Friday over a report from the Privileges Committee, who were investigating whether he had misled MPs about lockdown parties in Downing Street.
