Why have we allowed "resignation honours lists" to become a thing, exactly? They never used to be used.

He feels almost like the last serious person in power we had. I was reading recently that the last time poverty consistently fell in this country was in the first half of the first Brown/Blair government. Between 2009 and 2018 this country saw the biggest year on year drop in real terms income adjusted for inflation since 1938 and somehow blamed the EU.
Rishi gets his next time then

Irrespective of Jeremy Hunt getting a knighthood he is still a Jeremy Hunt.

If anyone with young children are struggling to explain to them what the term ‘reward for failure’ means need look no further.

only around since 1895.
As noted above. Brown refused to have one.
And (I know this is not relevant to your point, but) in 1895 it was still legal to beat your wife, and she didn't have a vote).
Edit: I have corrected my temporal reportage ineptitude
(I think I was told it is a TRI. Could have been a TIA).

Honestly, if I was ever offered the ermine or even a knighthood,with regard to other recent recipients of both, I would feel quite insulted that I was considered an equal to those members of society.

Shapps was accused of fraud, or was it Michael Green, Corinne Stockheath, perhaps it was Sebastian Fox?
That's north Kent for you.
Luckily, with my 'patron' status restored I can edit my foibles.
Why was Michael Gove knighted - services to the sellers of Bolivian Marching Powder?

Say what you like about the modern Tory party, they have their fingers on the pulse of the real issues affecting our world right now

This is now the modern Conservative Party, and likely will be for the next 20 years. Blah blah vegans blah blah trans rights blah blah Brexit was a huge success under us and Labour are doing it wrong, blah blah Trump is our special friend, blah blah, Liz Truss was betrayed by the pinkos at the Bank of England blah blah.
Just an endless stream of horse shit aimed at those stupid enough to believe a word. I genuinely fear Reform more than the modern Conservative Party, we know what they’ll do once they’re in power, but Reform are at least saying the right things to get into power.
Reform are playing a long game, targeting youth media (e.g. tik tok) knowing that the youth don’t vote, but that the young get older and start voting. If they persist unchallenged over a number of years, their voter base will continue to grow faster than our incumbent parties would like.
The Conservatives are still primarily targeting the “ex-Brigadier in Tunbridge Wells” vote.
