MPS who clashed with Boris Johnson, a senior civil servant who was controversially sacked by Liz Truss and a former royal aide who made a bullying complaint against the Duchess of Sussex are among the recipients of New Year Honours.
Knighthoods have been given to politicians who were thorns in the side of Johnson, including Labour’s Chris Bryant, who chairs the Commons Standards Committee, and Tory Julian Lewis, chairman of the parliamentary Intelligence and Security Committee, who called for the then Prime Minister to be replaced.
There is also a prestigious honour for former Treasury permanent secretary Sir Tom Scholar, who becomes a Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath having been summarily sacked by short-lived prime minister Truss on her first day in office.
