Rishi Sunak approves Boris Johnson's honours list - who made the cut?The ex-prime minister gave an honour to his former principal private secretary Martin Reynolds, who was heavily implicated in the Partygate scandal - but allies Nadine Dorries and Sir Alok Sharma, who were expected to enter the House of Lords, did not make the cut.They were struck from the list, according to reports, to avoid the government having to fight what could be a highly damaging by-election if he stood down to accept their peerages.But Ms Dorries, who had already announced her plan to quit as the MP for Mid Bedfordshire at the next election, announced she would be triggering a by-election by standing down immediately, just minutes before the list was published.Just hours earlier she had insisted... that she did not want to trigger a by-election by resigning.
