He is famously remembered for telling a constituent “please feel free to never bother me again” after an exchange of correspondence over same sex marriage – which he opposed.

But former MP Stewart Jackson is set for a return to mainstream politics with a seat in the House of Lords.

Mr Jackson has been awarded a life peerage after Prime Minister Liz Truss recommended him on a newly ennobled list drawn up by Boris Johnson and approved by the King.

He will be known as Baron Jackson of Peterborough.
