Tory peer deserts party after just four days

[Guest]

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.

Wish that more of the scum would do the same.

I think most of these left-wing guests are Gigabit trolling as well.

Great reply.

You should work for Boris Johnson. He could do with a diversion writer.

Possibly, gigabit has a very limited vocabulary - "scum" being the word of the week it seems.
