I suppose I actually have a tiny amount more respect for those MPs who have been consistently debasing themselves to support Johnson if they were doing it in return for this – as opposed to doing it because they were astronomically stupid enough to believe he was doing the right thing at any stage.
It would be nice if one day the British political system would realise that bestowing an honour on an utterly unfit waster doesn’t elevate the person, it simply denigrates the honour.
I just got offered British citizenship, but when I say Dame Priti Patel in my head, I’m getting second thoughts.
I don’t think someone who resigns in disgrace should be allowed to publish an honours list…
Easy for me to say, I appreciate, but if I had a knighthood I’d consider giving it back if these gaggle of bastards were given one.
Rees-Mogg gets a knighthood and Patel gets a damehood ? I would write what I feel but the words are not repeatable in polite company.
Another year where I don’t get a Knighthood…. absolutely robbed.
>Michael Fabricant
>Knighthood.
I haven’t the words.
Jesus fucking Christ I’d rather have Ebola than some of these cunts have knighthoods
Sir Jacob Rees Mogg? What an absolute fucking joke.
Mad Nads has spat her Dummy out?
Resigned as MP with immediate effect after getting cold shouldered by her Beau.
The whole honours system should be scrapped anyway outside of military medals and other public servants who aren’t politicians and this is just more ammo.
This has to be one of the most disgusting sets of “honours” I’ve ever seen.
Utterly disgusting that a snivelling lier has the privilege of an honours list. Even more of a slap in the face to the British public is that the names on that list are snivelling, self absorbed, narcissists that don’t deserve any amount of positive recognition, let alone one of the highest honours this country can give.
I hope that the mockery of this list and everything it represents reforms the way we offer these out in future.
If ‘everyone’ adopted a title – some of them aren’t protected – we could devalue their usage … with these sorts of appointments they are of no real value to *us* – so take away their power – ignore them / mock them
This country is a fucking joke. People like Rees Mogg and Patel getting honours. Just when I think our system can’t sink any lower.
Isn’t an honour supposed to be a reward for exceptional and unselfish work in the service of the country and to bring wisdom gained from those endeavours to the upper house?
Priti Patel?
Jacob Rees-Mogg?
We’re a laughing stock.
Time to consign this outdated and abused tradition to the bin.
Shouldn’t be surprised. He gave out cabinet jobs based solely on who was loyal to him after all.
This is disgusting. Not even the slightest attempt to even pretend there’s any integrity to these appointments.
Yes! Sir Rees Mogg! Legend!
This is fantastic. It is. Hear me out.
This is the final nail in the coffin that the honours system means absolutely anything.
Just privileged people wanking each other off. It’s an utter sham and no one can ever bring it back from this. Well done Boris.
Good riddance to its reputation as something meaningful.
>A formerly loyal aide to Mr Johnson branded the honours list “an utter disgrace”, telling the BBC it was “rewards for failure all round”.
I wonder who that could have been 😂
Well, there goes the last of the meaning any such honours ever held, not that much was left.
David Attenborough, David Beckham, Judy Dench, Lewis Hamilton. The list goes on. And then there’s these fucking cretins.
The only person who deserves being on the list was Boris’ hairdresser. Probably the least corrupt and most competent person on the list
Unbelievable ! So much for Sunaks integrity, rotten to the core !!
The more you think about this the more it’s a fucking embarrassment for a 21st Century country. You do your job, give your boss the occasional handjob along the way, and after a couple of years you get a lifetime income and get a “special” title.
Time for the HoL to be dissolved and replaced.

You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villany.
Jacob Reece mogg being knighted. Lol.
These things have lost all meaning. It used to be an actual honour. Now I’d be embarrassed getting one of these things.
Not that I endorse shitty people like Mizzy, but goddammit would I love to see some turdstain tiktoker terrorising the likes of Rees-Mogg or Nadine Dories etc.
A 29 year old former advisor is now a life peer? Seems bloody odd. Chances are he shagged her but jeez. What the fuck does she have to offer?
The House of Lords is really great. Right? Right?
Anyone on this list should be kicked out of politics ASAP
I’m a defender of the Crown and its related institutions, but seeing “Sir Rees-Mogg” and “Dame Patel”. Fucking disgusting.
Imagine being one of the healthcare workers who cared for Boris Johnson’s mother when she was dying, helped deliver his baby, or treated him when he had covid, and finding out he gave an MBE to his hairdresser.
When do we riot? This is a fucking disgrace and I hate where this country is.
Sir Michael Fabricant.
A man even dimmer than Truss, absolutely zero achievements in parliament and has held no office.
Forced out as PM, resigned in disgrace as an MP… why does he get an honors list?
Put it straight into the shredder.
Sickening, that a discredited criminal has their criminal fraternity propelled into a lifetime position of power and further privilege.
