Tom Watson MP, Deputy Leader of the Labour Party, responding to reports on David Cameron’s resignation honours list, said:

“I hope Theresa May is not going stake her reputation on David Cameron’s old boys network. That Mr Cameron proposes to reward his friends network on such a huge scale will not only bring the honours system into disrepute, it will undermine the reputation of the Theresa May. It’s cronyism, pure and simple and proof the Tories will always put their own interests before those of the country.”
