A top Tory who has been embroiled in cash-for-access scandals is being considered for a peerage in Boris Johnson ’s crony House of Lords wish list, the Sunday Mirror understands.
It’s understood Conservative chairman Ben Elliot - whose firm has been accused of selling access to Prince Charles and boasting of links to “Russian elites” - is being lined up for a gong in the PM’s resignation honours list.
And more big ticket donors are being discussed - many of them thought to be members of Mr Johnson’s “advisory committee” of donors said to be granted access to senior ministers in return for giving more than £250,000 to the party.
