Thanks all. That Report was tough reading

Mad Nads is stepping down as an MP immediately, not waiting until the GE.

Wonder if this is in preparation for her debut in the House of Lords, or is she going fulltime on GB News?

Paul Brand from ITV news is saying it might be because she was denied a peerage top avoid the by-election and has just thrown her toys out the pram.

There were rumours this morning that she wasn't on the agreed honours list, so if those were true then Brand's rumour has legs.

I expect a COBRA meeting before the evening.
How will they cope without her?

Johnson's honours list published, no peerage for Mad Nads.

Fabricant gets a knighthood, presumably for services to rug makers.

Peerages go to:

Shaun Bailey
Ben Gascoigne
Ben Houchen
Ross Kempsell
Charlotte Owen
Kulveer Ranger
Dan Rosenfield

Knighthood for Rees-Mogg too.

Does this mean you can challenge them to a duel now?

Is that not a bit below him?

Ross Kempsell

He deserves that, his TV series about gangs was excellent

nothing for daddy boris?

A knighthood is a bit vulgar. Something hereditary is much more authentic.

Consistent to the last:

Does the approval of Johnson's honous list mean that he won't be suspended for 10 days or longer?

It seems that might have been one of those leaks that designed to make certain people think this bunch of cronies being given underserved rewards is vaguely ok. “Oh, it’s not a bad as you said it was going to be…”

Does the approval of Johnson's honous list mean that he won't be suspended for 10 days or longer?

No, nothing to do with it.

She wasn't on the list. Maybe she's hoping it gets through the review?

So many pointless people getting bribes.

My favourite one is this:

Members of the Order of the British Empire
Kelly Jo Dodge
Long-time Parliamentary hairdresser. For Parliamentary service.

Surely that's got to be some sort of inside joke?

Cameron’s hairdresser got an MBE, I said to my wife, ‘You better shoot me’

Cameron's Hairdresser got an MBE...
