'Making Shaun Bailey a peer is an insult to Britain's Covid-bereaved families'
Rewarding Shaun Bailey with a peerage in the Lords is indefensible while across London the families of Covid bereaved have been fighting for justice.
It is an insult to those who lost loved ones to go ahead with the ceremony while the Met Police continue to investigate a “jingle and mingle” party by Bailey’s team in Tory HQ during a lockdown.
The defeated Conservative candidate for London Mayor would, if he had any honour, personally request his introduction into the Lords be delayed at the very least.
And Rishi Sunak, if he was as honourable a Prime Minister as he wants you to believe, should have insisted on a delay and considered blocking the peerage.
The Tory ruling class behaving as if rules imposed on the ruled don’t apply to them is undermining trust in politics and politicians.

Animal anger
Mirror reporter Nada in Hanoi wet markets next to cage of stolen cats (Adam Gerrard / Daily Mirror)For us in Britain, eating cats is sickening yet in parts of Vietnam their meat is considered a delicacy.
The trade is so profitable that domestic pets are stolen on an almost industrial scale, to be skinned and boiled for customers.
It’s impossible for our stomachs not to churn and hearts bleed when we look at the moving images of caged cats, knowing the horrible fate that awaits them.
People in other countries, in turn, find it distasteful that many of us eat cows and pigs, while some French dine on horse flesh.
It may not be possible for the world to embrace vegetarianism but no one should be inflicting the cruelty seen on these pages.
