    Sunak's honours list making Gove,Cleverly and Hunt members of the House of Lords adds to the many many reasons why the House should be abolished and an elected 2nd chamber should be created.
    Rewarding failed politician by adding them to the gravy train is old fashioned and needs to stop.

    "It all read like the honours list of a man who doesn’t just think he’s going to lose the election, but is gunning to make history and shed his seat on the same day, permitting a clean break and the chance to eff back off to Silicon Valley at his very earliest convenience."

    Nominees too embarrassed to accept peerages from Liz Truss
    This makes absolutely no sense to me
    At least two people have declined honours from our greatest ever leader, Liz Truss, because they’re “too embarrassed” to receive them. One said it would be “humiliating” to be honoured by our shortest serving prime minister and the other said they “don’t deserve it” which is ridiculous.

    Liz Truss should go without an honours list or any other perks!

    Liz Truss and the Conservative party need to realise that the public mood is for her to leave quietly without an honours list or any other perks of the job. She has been an incompetent and disgraceful Prime Minister.

  5. Liz Truss is still set to get all the perks of being Prime Minister despite only holding the role for 49 days.
    This includes her own honours list, like the one Boris Johnson just had approved
    Will you add your name to the petition to make sure Rishi Sunak can’t ignore us?

    Dishonoured man honours his cronies in totally legit process
    British democracy is alive and well
    Boris Johnson may have sacrificed his honour by resigning in disgrace, but you will be pleased to know that in the process, he has bestowed honours upon many others. It’s fair to say, Johnson has come up with the most prestigious honours list since Harold Shipman dished out his “NHS Heroes” awards from his prison cell.

    What the actual fuck, folks. The decline we're seeing is existential. Johnson as usual at the heart of it.

    Dame Swears at the Public Andrea Jenkyns
    Sir Is He Even Real Michael Fabricant
    Sir Patronising Git Rees-Mogg

    PLUS the main architects of Partygate *ennobled* presumably to keep them shtum?

    One of those days when I can't help but rage. Sunak the weakest of weak leaders. What a joke.

  8. It's bad enough that Johnson keeps nominating family members for the House of Lords or a knighthood.
    But should a former PM who is under investigation and may yet get suspended from Parliament really be allowed an "honours" list at all?
