Honours for anything??

It was ever thus Trisher (sadly) all these honours are ridiculous.

At least one for the cat!

I think the general cynicism surrounding the honours system should really indicate that it is Time to reassess the system.

trisher are you suggesting that Boris actually has a hairdresser? I thought he got the gardner to run a hedge trimmer over it.

Well whoever is doing it I think they deserve an honour far more than Sam Cam's stylist. Much more striking and more talked about.

Such cronyism. The honours list is a joke. The truly deserving aren't recognised, ever.

Dave didn't need to do it. Not every retiring PM does.
Theresa May would have got more kudos if she had vetoed some of the honours.
Why does Osborne need anything? He is going to inherit anyway.

It devalues the honours that are given to people who really deserve them. It's become a joke.

I quite agree and I do not understand the obsession of knighting some athletes- our Andy will be next.

The Queen has a personal order (Victoria Order, I think) which she awards to people who render her personal services that she wishes to acknowledge.

Why do we not have a personal order for political leaders where they can hand out gongs to supporters and stylists on a similar basis? What about the calling it the Parliamentary Order, with three grades. certificate, Diploma and Medal (CPO, DPO and MPO) then if someone only got a reward for political services it will be obvious.

Why SamCam's stylist got an award I do not know. Did she have instructions to keep her clothes dull and fubsy, so as not to cause too many waves among the Tory matrons of the shires who might be deeply suspicious of an MP with a wife with any sense of style?

A parliamentary order is a great idea M0nica!

That's a great idea M0nica.
As for SamCam's stylist you could be right. In fact until these honours I never knew she had a stylist but maybe that shows how good she is???!!!

Arise Sir Lawrence, Mouser-in-Chief

I read someone today saying who on earth would want to join a club that had Pillip Green as a member?

but for how long?

Larry the cat might have problems arising, last seen with ears down snarling at Palmerston FO cat, he seems to have come off worse because he has now lost his collar. Give him an OBE at least, it's a tough life being a Downing Street cat

And apparently Philip Hammond wants to bring his dog to No 11!

Oh dear more conflict! And possibly more honours. I've just thought the vet looking after Larry should get something like the stylist.

Poor dog! He will think he has the upper hand but I bet the cats win.
