Boris Johnson's risky resignation honours plan leaves King Charles in a difficult position

Sunak’s big pitch – that the only way is ethics – has swiftly run into claims that he’s as grubby as anyone when it comes to party interests.

When all the dust had died down over Williamson’s dire tenure in charge of schools during the pandemic, Johnson decided to rehabilitate him with a knighthood a mere six months later. As rewards for failure go , it was breathtaking. And Sunak, like May and Johnson, had Williamson doing the numbers for his leadership campaign.Reports

His other proposal is even more risky. The idea that Nadine Dorries, Alister Jack, Alok Sharma and Nigel Adams would all be somehow awarded delayed peerages, which only kick in after the next election, is an unprecedented attempt to avoid by-election defeats for the sitting party. Worse still, it risks putting King Charles into a difficult constitutional position as he would have to approve this novel concept.
