Johnsons honours list predates these allegations but a good bit but yeh it's not a good luck if they do knight him. Also Liz is apparently looking if they can defer some of the knighthoods as they would trigger up to 8 byelections and suddenly they don't want that for some reason

Do you mean peerages? Because there are loads of knights in the commons, eg the Father of the House, Sir Peter Bottomley, knighted in 2011.

Understood that Johnson’s lust predates latest but it’s not as if this is Burns’ first indiscretion - any other form of work you’d be sacked with all the implications rather than rewarded
[Edit - I’m leaving “Johnson’s lust”, attributing it to letters being next to each other rather than Freudian fingers]

So Conor Burns is sacked as a minister and whip removed.
Johnson is proposing to give him a knighthood.
I’m not suggesting that the two are connected but really?
