Sunak must reverse Johnson’s “happy hour honours”
The Liberal Democrats have called on Rishi Sunak to step in and reverse Boris Johnson’s “happy hour honours” list, and ban him from standing again for the Conservatives.
It comes after Boris Johnson stood down yesterday with an attack on the Privileges Committee.
Ministers are able to cancel an honour after it has been awarded, to preserve the integrity of the honours system.
Liberal Democrat Deputy Leader Daisy Cooper said:
Boris Johnson handed out honours to his partygate accomplices before quitting with a Trumpian attack on our Parliament. He is dragging our entire honours system and democracy through the mud.
Rishi Sunak has shown himself to be completely spineless in letting Johnson wreak havoc like this yet again. The least he could do is step in and ensure these happy hour honours are consigned to history along with Johnson himself.
