  1. Well deserved imo.

    Introduced sure start, tax credits, minimum wage, maternity leave and pay, holiday pay, smoking ban, NHS record spending, so on.

    But no doubt the Corbyn fans will come along and say war criminal!!!!! – sigh.

  2. To quote Ralph Richardson’s character in Lindsay Anderson’s film, *O Lucky Man*

    “The line between The House of Lords and Pentonville gaol is remarkably thin!”

  3. Not really very surprising this honour is always given to former PM’s, Wilson, Heath, Callaghan, Thatcher, and Major have all received the same award.

    The reason why this award took so long is apparently was due to tension surrounding Diana’s death and due to them having to be awarded chronologically this is why Cameron and May haven’t yet received the same award.

  4. Linking arm in arm with a right wing US president and slaughtering a load of Muslims a thousand miles away earns you a knighthood…

    Seems an apt start for the broken UK in 2022. 🙌

  5. Lie (Dodgy Dossier), get a million people killed, destabilize a region for decades and not only do you get a medal from your ‘Commander-in-Chief’, but now people have to call you *Sir*? Well i suppose he does belong in the same group as Mugabe and Savile, though their evil affected *far* fewer people.
