Most of the public oppose Liz Truss being allowed to hand out “reward for failure” peerages to mark the end of her disastrous time as Prime Minister, a new poll suggests.
Outgoing PMs are allowed to stuff friends and cronies into the House of Lords in their ‘resignation honours’ lists.
Just seven per cent of voters believe Ms Truss, who was only in office for 49 days, should be allowed to draw up a list, according to a survey by Opinion for the Electoral Reform Society (ERS).
