Really. Is this what the country needs ?

I have NO words (and that is rare!)

Typical of the outrageous buffoon. I'm surprised he didn't nominate Larry the Chief Mouser for a knighthood.

Larry deserves a knighthood.

👏👏👏
Sir Laurence Mouser of the City of Westminster

Obviously an accolade for services to Boris, it really should be struck out as unwarranted

*In the book, The Gambler, author Tom Bower describes Stanley's marriage to Boris Johnson's mum Charlotte as violent and unhappy.
She told the author: "He broke my nose. He made me feel like I deserved it."
"I want the truth to be told."*

*In March Mr Johnson said he would ignore his son's advice, given the day before, about people avoiding social contact in pubs and restaurants.
The Prime Minister had advised everyone, particularly those over 70, to stay away from venues to control the spread of the disease.
But when asked if he would disobey his son's public health message, Mr Johnson said: "Of course, I’ll go to a pub if I need to go to a pub."*

The Prime Minister's dad came under fire last week, after he was photographed buying a newspaper in a west London newsagent without wearing a face mask, breaking the Covid laws.There were calls for him to be fined for the incident, and while the Metropolitan police were contacted, they decided not to fine him as he was not caught in real-time

What a prize he is !!!

Nepotism honours for the family!

He already elevated his brother to the HoL Jo Johnson who was a Minister during Boris' time as PM and resigned in 2019 was made "Baron Johnson of Marylebone" in 2020 when the media were distracted by Covid

Unbelievable. However, although he finally resigned last September, the committee who are responsible for approving the Johnson Honours list are still working on it.

Rory Stewart was our M.P. always short on words and long on common sense. Well said Rory.

Isn’t social deference out of fashion in 2023? What value is a title in the current climate? I think there’s more kudos in plain Mr, Mrs, Ms. It, They etc any permutations allowed.

Also is it okay to have binary titles such as Sir or Lady? Isn’t it sexist?

Why why why is a failed and disgraced Prime Minister even nominating people for “honours”. It is totally corrupt and the whole House of Lords needs disbanding! Saddened.

Ooh let's not tempt fate Grantanow.

This the man (Stanley) who used to hit his wife and I believe broke her nose at one point

The whole thing stinks, angry at even the thought of it
I agree with those that say abolish the stupid outdated system

Find a different system to honour ordinary people that go above and beyond but stop this nonsense it’s an insult to the country

What no honour for Larry the cat ? He has endured so much 🤣
Boris is an embarrassment, and how can he be allowed to do this whilst still under investigation?

There's a rumour that he's also nominated Wilfred for a peerage!

Toddlers in the House of Lords. Now there's a novel idea

The obvious problem with Boris Johnson is that he can clearly be bought for the right money by anyone!

Personally I think it's high time the whole honours system was abolished. I have no problem with ordinary people being rewarded for going above and beyond the call, but this old boys' network is a relic of the past and should be left there.

Spot on!

BJ is such an a—e.

There's a rumour that he's also nominated Wilfred for a peerage!

Casdon

I guess the only surprise is that he didn’t nominate himself.

😂😂😂

Don't say that when I'm drinking coffee!
Actually, it's not funny in the slightest, it's preposterous.

Its a shame, maddyone because honouring people who have made great contributions to our communities is worthwhile, but I don't know how we could separate it off. Perhaps a change in who makes the decisions?

The people who make enormous contributions to society, perform acts of bravery etc are sometimes rewarded with a BEM, MBE, OBE and whilst the word Empire is outmoded and perhaps should be replaced, it is an honour of which they should be deservedly proud.

The other rewards are often questionable and are often party political posturing or to place their cronies in the H of L for political gain.

It should surely be possible to devise a system whereby people like that could still be honoured in some way.

It's an absolute disgrace. I still want to know what Boris was doing in Italy, whilst he was Foreign Secretary, at a private party, without his aides, given by an ex KGB agent, Alexander Lebedev and why he gave an honour to the ex KGB's son. I find this much more worrying than his nepotism.

I don’t agree with the honours system at all, for anyone. Cronyism has been evident throughout the system for years. It’s abhorrent.
