OUTRAGEOUS

Disgraced ex-PM, ousted by his own MPs after breaking the law then lying about it, wants to honour 100 cronies... including his own dad

SHAMELESS Boris Johnson was last night accused of making a mockery of the honours system by nominating his own dad to become a knight of the realm. 

The move sparked fury, with many asking how an alleged wife-beater accused of groping women could land an honour usually given to those who toil selflessly for the common good.

And Rishi Sunak was under pressure to block Johnson Snr’s proposed gong. It was one of 100 requests on the ousted PM’s resignation honours list, packed with cronies and rich donors .

As a YouGov poll found 52 per cent of voters believe his dad should not get one, Lib Dem chief w hip Wendy Chamberlain said:  “Honours should be reserved for those who’ve gone above and beyond to contribute to our country.

“Boris Johnson’s attempt to bestow that recognition on his father makes a mockery of the whole thing.”
