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

Quelle surprise, huh? Nothing shocks me any more about Boris' nepotism.

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.

It’s not a lordship or even a peerage, but a knighthood.
Still barefaced cheek though From The Guardian
Anger over reports Boris Johnson seeks knighthood for ^father

Previous reports have suggested Johnson could also be considering honours for his wife, Carrie Johnson, and his sister, Rachel Johnson. As prime minister he made his brother, Jo Johnson, a peer

Nepotism at it's lowest. Stanley Johnson who broke his wife's nose, who has done nothing worthwhile to aid the country. On a par with giving a russian a knighthood.

You mean a peerage.
