Boris Johnson's resignation honours list includes controversial appointments
Boris Johnson has released his resignation honours list, which includes knighthoods and other gongs to fellow Brexiteers, as well as political allies and friends. The list has been delayed by months of back and forth with Rishi Sunak's government, which has to approve nominations. The list has caused controversy, with some names being removed, such as former culture secretary Nadine Dorries and former Cop26 president Sir Alok Sharma, to avoid the prospect of two potentially damaging by-elections. Political aides who worked with Boris Johnson during the partygate scandal are among those who have been nominated for honours in his resignation list.
