Imagine seeing "honour" in a gong or title given by Keir #Starmer.
A word before your name, or a few letters after it, to signify that a mendacious, repressive, kid-starving, granny-freezing, genocide-assisting freebie-hound thought you virtuous or felt indebted.
#DisHonours. You should be ashamed.
#Sunak's #ResignationHonours came 9 months after resignation. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/resignation-honours-and-peerages-april-2025 Same with Johnson.
So there's time to get ready to mock & berate the rats dishonoured by Starmer

CW: UK Politics; House of Lords
Can we discuss the #HouseOfLords?
It feels like we’ve been at it forever - I'm sure I did a debate on abolition at school, some 30 years ago
It’s a bloated, anti-democratic anachronism, where cronyism & grubby politicking are clad in robes and given life-long powers
Johnson’s #ResignationHonours list, packed with donors, lackeys & ‘bootlickers’ only emphasises this
But from a pragmatic perspective, what does the future look like? Abolition or reform?

@gem_abbott But will the King object or will he stay silent to avoid just such controversy, especially so early into his reign? #ukpolitics #ResignationHonours

The Times is reporting that all 4 MPs on Johnson’s resignation honours list - Nadine Dorries, Alister Jack, Nigel Adams, Alok Sharma - are all planning to “defer” their peerages until the next election
But this is totally unprecedented - how can you be both a member of the Commons *and* the Lords at the same time?
If Sunak lets them do this, but the King objects, well - we’ll have ourselves a little constitutional crisis 🚨

Johnson’s #ResignationHonours list is packed with cronies, lackeys & ‘bootlickers’ (to use the word of one Tory MP)
These people will enter the Lords FOR LIFE
They will join our legislature; they will form part of our constitutional fabric
And why? Because our disgraced former Prime Minister says so?
Once again, our unwritten constitution, with its reliance on “good chaps”, has shown just what happens when the people with power are anything but

Have you seen the leaked #ResignationHonours list by #BorisJohnson?
It apparently includes peerages for:
🙄 4 MPs - #NadineDorries #AlokSharma #AlistairJack #NigelAdams
😱 4 Johnson aides, including 2 who would become the youngest life peers IN HISTORY
😡 Paul Dacre, former Daily Mail editor
💸 Tory donors, David Ross & Stuart Marks
😫 Shaun Bailey, failed London mayoral candidate
