Yeah, that's what I thought. Her promise to return the "honour" looks to me like an attempt to avoid having it seized off her.

These "honours" (knighthoods, peerages etc.) should now be referred to as "disgraces". Liz Truss handed out an honour for roughly each four days of her incumbency as Prime Minister, nearly all to crazies from the extreme right of the Conservative Party. We already have way more peers than can actually be stuffed into the House Of Lords.

Boris Johnston’s attempts to knight his father and Russian oligarchs donating money to the conservatives for titles are examples of this.

Not to mention that “Owen” woman who nobody seems to know anything about but is this spitting image of his ex-wife and has that trademark Johnson shade of hair.
