More MPs are reacting to Boris Johnson's resignation honour's list, which includes former aides who worked for him during the partygate scandal, Martin Reynolds and Jack Doyle. The former prime minister handed peerages to former London mayoral candidate Shaun Bailey and Tees Valley mayor Ben Houchen, while giving staunch loyalists Jacob Rees-Mogg and Priti Patel a knighthood and a damehood respectively. She was serving as an education minister at the time.īoris Johnson's long-awaited resignation honours list was released this evening, with the former prime minister nominating close allies for peerages and other gongs. Ms Jenkyns raised her middle finger to crowds outside No 10 shortly before Mr Johnson's resignation speech in July. "It was an honour to serve in his government as a minister and a whip." The Morley and Outwood MP said: "I am deeply honoured to have been awarded a damehood (DBE) for public and political services, having been nominated by our nation's greatest prime minister since Margaret Thatcher, the Rt Hon Boris Johnson. Former Conservative whip Andrea Jenkyns said she was "deeply honoured" to have been nominated by Boris Johnson for a damehood following the publication of his resignation honour's list.
