AWARDING Boris Johnson’s father Stanley a knighthood would bring the honours system into “disrepute”, a senior Tory warned today.
Former Brexit secretary David Davis urged Rishi Sunak to block any move to offer Mr Johnson the knighthood after it was reported he had been nominated by his ex-PM son in his resignation honours list.
According to The Times, Boris Johnson had put forward 100 names in the list, including allies like former culture secretary Nadine Dorries and MP Nigel Adams.
