Excellent thread on twitter by Carol Cadwalldre citing evidence from court and various other stuff that links both Williamson and Johnson to the Russians and the Kremlin - as identified by the FBI.

This is paying Williamson for his silence.

I was going to say Gavin who?

It's time we had an elected Upper House.

What does the 'Upper House' have to do with Williamson's knighthood?

It was for services to fireplaces.

Unbelievable!

How bad does it have to get before everybody catches on to the fact that the current honours system is just a bit silly?

DRMMH Thu 03-Mar-22 21:54:30

Not only does the awarding of a knighthood to such an incompetent person make a mockery of the whole honours system but it also insults those who have deserved to be so acknowledged.

Casdon Thu 03-Mar-22 21:50:33

The attempt to slip it in under the radar while the country is distracted was so obvious.

valdali Thu 03-Mar-22 21:48:30

That takes the biscuit he was incompetent!

Oldbat1 Thu 03-Mar-22 21:42:42

Must know lots of the details about Johnson shenanigans so “hush money” or rather a “hush knighthood”. Reward for failing in various jobs. Johnson will no doubt be awarded a sainthood eventually for all his failed jobs - watch this space. Disgraceful!

Madgran77 Thu 03-Mar-22 21:35:20

Ridiculous!

Oopsadaisy1 Thu 03-Mar-22 21:34:04

He should be ashamed of himself and refuse it.

Aveline Thu 03-Mar-22 20:43:43

Why on earth has he been knighted?

wasn't he chief whip at one time.
they have all the secrets on their MPs.

Remember his official photo of him with the whip and the book….

A knighthood for: -
The exams fiasco
Home schooling failures
Leaking security information when he was Defence Secretary
School meals debacle
Confusing Marcus Rashford with Maro Itoje

Pitiful

Its the Tory way ,reward failure ...or if the "honour" is paid for .WHY is there an Ex KGB agents son in the H of Lords ....

Beswitched Thu 03-Mar-22 19:58:29

Why has this twice sacked man been given a Knighthood? I'm not even British and I'm shocked.
