While the world was focused on the Royal Wedding sneaky Mother Theresa was sticking nine Conservative cronies in the House of Lords.
I couldn’t find anything about it in The Northern Echo. Either they didn’t want to print the story or their reporters should be reprimanded for not keeping abreast of the news.
It gives the nine a possible £1,500-a-week rise from the money tree that is needed for essential purposes like giving the Tories a majority in the Lords.
The photos of the nine in a national paper showed them with smiles on their faces and in my opinion, with a lot to smile about.
