Re: Theresa May Resignation Honours List

She's resigning as an MP, or being honoured?

Re: Theresa May Resignation Honours List

Prime Minister's Resignation Honours granted at the behest of an outgoing PM after they quit. They ask the monarch to bestow peerages, or lesser honours, on any number of people of their choosing.

Re: Theresa May Resignation Honours List

I find it slightly bizarre that you should be allowed to honour people if you resign in disgrace.

Re: Theresa May Resignation Honours List

I've searched Google and I can't find anything new on Theresa May apart from her watching the cricket....she's kept a very low profile thus far.

Re: Theresa May Resignation Honours List

https://www.theguardian.com/politics...nation-honours

Theresa May has been accused of “rotten” cronyism after handing out peerages, knighthoods and other honours to her closest aides, including her controversial former advisers Nick Timothy and Fiona Hill, who left office amid accusations of bullying behaviour.

May’s resignation honours list heaps rewards on those who worked in Downing Street during her three-year tenure, despite her having previously poured scorn on cronyism under David Cameron.

The CBEs for Timothy and Hill are likely to provoke the most criticism, as they left their jobs following May’s disastrous 2017 election following anger about their abrasive manner towards MPs and staff.
The former prime minister once famously gave a speech suggesting Cameron’s decision to award a knighthood to his ex-communications director Craig Oliver made her want to be sick.

Her aides also briefed media in 2016 that she wanted to draw a line under the cronyism of the Cameron era, reserving honours for unsung heroes who have served their local communities.

However, the former prime minister’s list gives awards to at least 20 of her former advisers, including a knighthood for Robbie Gibb, her director of communications, and a peerage for Gavin Barwell, the former MP who was her chief of staff.
Makes me want to be .....
