Tories plot to block peerage for former MP who spilled their sex secrets

Tories plot to block peerage for former MP who spilled their sex secrets

TORIES have launched a revolt to stop their former chief whip getting a peerage – after he spilled their sex secrets in a tell-all book.

Simon Hart sent shockwaves through Westminster when his diaries revealed that a Conservative MP had to be rescued from a brothel after a suspected KGB honeytrap.

Mr Hart lost his seat in the election but was expected to be handed a peerage in Rishi Sunak’s resignation list.

But Tory MPs are so furious at him for publishing their deepest darkest secrets they have launched an all-out war to stop him getting the ermine.

They have nicknamed their secret plot “Operation Hart-Attack”;.

One Tory MP involved said: “His book was a disgrace.

“Simon has destroyed the sanctity and trust of the whips office.

“A chief whip needs to be trusted and respected by MPs. There is a code – and Simon broke it.

“He has driven a coach and horses through the system.”;

Tory MPs have been emailing the House of Lords Appointments Commission (HOLAC) accusing Mr Hart of breaching the politicians’ code of ethics.

They are asking for his appointment to be blocked.

HOLAC never comments on who might be in line for a peerage.
