Since when was you allowed to give honours to your own father? I don't think thet ever happened before.

And they have to get Royal Approval as well right? I can't see the King Approving them either.

Johnson loyalist Nigel Adams MP has resigned, looks like his band of merry men are going to try & force Sunak out

It's only peerages that have to go through a committee (the Appointments Commission). If approved the names then go to the Prime Minister who has the final say. Everything else, knighthoods etc, just go straight to the Prime Minister.

It's going to be an interesting summer recess, I wish them luck in forcing him out before the party conference season.

now it definitely looks like Sunak & Boris are no longer bosom buddies

I signed so i hope it does get blocked

It appears that the HOLAC (House of Lords Appointments Committee) rejected 8 of Johnson's nominations.

Boris wanted Rishi to get involved and overrule the vetting advice from the committee. Rishi refused and since Boris has had a go at Sunak, Rishi has now gone public as to what happened.

Johnson has said this is all rubbish.

Who are we to believe more as to who is actually telling the truth on this one?
