Labour pledges to ‘clean up politics’ after outrage over Liz Truss honours list

Shadow front bencher says Keir Starmer would not have resignation honours after appalling spectacle' of ex-prime minister rewarding cronies'

Labour last night promised there would be no resignation honour's list issued by Keir Starmer if he were to become prime minister, as outrage grew over the list of peerages, knighthoods and other rewards showered by Liz Truss on those associated with her disastrous 49 days in office.

Shadow leader of the House, Lucy Powell, told the Observer: The appalling spectacle of Truss rewarding her cronies for helping her crash the economy and cause mortgage misery for millions demeans politics.
