Theresa May has been left red faced after a former Tory MP, who she appointed to the House of Lords, has revealed he will be sitting as a crossbencher in the upper chamber.
Lord Tyrie, who lost his seat in 2017, is a former chairman of the Treasury select committee.
But despite serving as a Tory MP for a decade, he will not be taking the Conservative whip when he joins the House of Lords.
This will be a particular blow to the Prime Minister who has recently suffered 15 defeats on Brexit in the Lords.
Theresa May triggered fury when she announced a fresh batch of Conservative cronies for the Upper Chamber under cover of the Royal Wedding.
