FORMER home secretary Priti Patel is reportedly being tipped for a seat in the House of Lords.
Patel has come up in formal talks around Boris Johnson's resignation honours list - according to openDemocracy - which is different to the already-leaked political honours list he is expected to nominate.
The Daily Telegraph reported the names of 25 people expected to become peers - which includes former Daily Mail editor Paul Dacre and Nicholas Soames - but that list was apparently created long before Johnson left Downing Street.
