Sunak and Johnson’s war of words over honours list

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has accused his predecessor Boris Johnson of asking him to take action that “wasn’t right” in discussions over the former prime minister’s honours list.

Sunak said Johnson asked him to “do something I wasn’t prepared to do” by overruling the House of Lords Appointments Commission (Holac) or to “make promises to people”.

Former prime minister Johnson and his Conservative Party colleagues Nadine Dorries and Nigel Adams have all stepped down as MPs with immediate effect, leaving Sunak with three by-elections to contest.

Both Dorries’ and Adams’ nominations to the Lords were rejected by Holac.

King Charles SHOCKS Canada With Land Acknowledgement Message | ‘Unceded Territory’ STUNS Viewers

King Charles III opened Canada’s new parliamentary session with a rare “speech from the throne”—only the third such address by a reigning monarch in Canadian history. In a powerful and symbolic gesture, the King began with a land acknowledgement, honoring the Algonquin and Anishinaabeg peoples, and called for deeper understanding and action on truth and reconciliation. It was his 20th visit to Canada, but his first as King. The ceremony blended Commonwealth traditions with Indigenous representation unique to Canada’s identity. #KingCharles #CanadaParliament #SpeechFromTheThrone #TruthAndReconciliation #IndigenousPeoples #LandAcknowledgement #Commonwealth #RoyalVisit #Anishinaabeg #FirstNations #SenateChamber #CanadianHistory #RoyalFamily #QueenCamilla #MarySimon #IndigenousVoices #RCMP #CanadianMilitary #MarkCarney #MonarchyInCanada #ReconciliationNow #BritishMonarchy #InuitVoices #Métis #RoyalCeremony #BlackRod #GovernorGeneral #ThroneSpeech2025 #CanadaRoyalVisit #CrownInCanada #HistoricMoment Also Read King Charles Now As Rich As Sunak And Murty—Inside His £640 Million Wealth :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/king-charles-now-as-rich-as-sunak-and-murty-inside-his-640-million-wealth-4156711.html?ref=DMDesc King Charles III Briefly Hospitalised For Observation Following Side Effects From Cancer Treatment :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/king-charles-iii-briefly-hospitalised-for-observation-following-side-effects-from-cancer-treatment-4107317.html?ref=DMDesc King Charles III Celebrates Healthcare Workers in Heartfelt Christmas Message Amid Royal Illnesses :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/king-charles-iii-christmas-message-healthcare-workers-011-4025931.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.178~PR.152~ED.346~GR.122~
