Here are all the Tories being honoured on the New Year's list

The allegations that the honours system has links to cronyism is set to be a talking point yet again this new year, as dozens of Tory Party members and donors have received awards.

Only 26 out of a total of 1,196 names were awarded for 'political service' - but nine of those 26 are Conservative politicians, campaigners or aides.

In addition, six Tory donors made the list.
