Former Cabinet minister and Leave campaign leader Michael Gove has been awarded a peerage in Rishi Sunak’s resignation honours list. Gove is now editor Spectator magazine.
Sunak has appointed several other key allies to the House of Lords including former cabinet ministers Mark Harper, Victoria Prentis, Alister Jack, and Simon Hart. There are also peerages for Stephen Massey and Eleanor Shawcross. The latter was a former head of the policy unit in Downing Street, and Massey was chief executive of the Conservative party. The House of Lords is the largest legislature in the world with over 800 unelected members, with the exception of the National People’s Congress of China, which numbers nearly 3,000 people.
Former Chancellor Jeremy Hunt and former foreign secretary James Cleverly have been awarded knighthoods. Cleverly was frontrunner among MPs to take over the leadership of the party from Sunak until the final round of voting. Andrew Mitchell said he was “humbled and grateful for this wonderful personal news” as he also received a knighthood. Theresa Villiers has received a damehood, while Mel Stride and Grant Shapps also received knighthoods.

…I am particularly pleased for Alistair Jack who thoroughly deserved recognition for sinking the mad Canadian bat’s bottle return scheme and torpedoing Sturgeon’s gender self ID piffle

He probably got it for zapping all his WhatsApp messages during the covid crisis. For some reason he didn`t get much criticism in the media for that compared with members of the Scottish government.

I keep forgetting that he isn`t really the sexist, xenophobic, homophobic arch-unionist he portrays himself to be on here.
