Police assessing claims that Tories offered peerages to Brexit party
Scotland Yard is assessing two allegations of electoral fraud after claims the Tories offered peerages to senior Brexit party figures to persuade them to stand down in the general election.
The Labour peer Lord Falconer has written to the Metropolitan police commissioner and director of public prosecutions calling for an investigation into what he said were “exceptionally serious allegations”.
He said it should be investigated as a matter of urgency and must be looked at by police in order to maintain public confidence in the integrity of the election.
His letter to Cressida Dick and Max Hill QC refers to Nigel Farage’s claim that he and eight other senior figures within the Brexit party were offered peerages.
Oh dear. When thieves fall out !!
