Boris Johnson has “serious questions to answer” about the appointment of newspaper publisher Evgeny Lebedev to the House of Lords, Keir Starmer has said.
The Labour leader called for transparency on Lebedev’s appointment after fresh questions were raised about the Prime Minister’s decision to nominate him for a peerage.
Johnson has been accused of brushing off security concerns, raised by the House of Lords appointments commission, to press ahead with nominating Lebedev as a Tory peer.
