A major Tory donor and four MPs have been awarded honours on the recommendation of Rishi Sunak.
Businessman Mohamed Mansour, who gave £5 million to the Tories in 2023 and is a senior treasurer at the party, was knighted for business, charity and political service.
Labour Party chairwoman Anneliese Dodds hit out at the Prime Minister for recommending the honour.
Senior No 10 sources pointed to Sir Mohamed’s charitable work and record of public service, including support for The Prince’s Foundation – now The King’s Foundation – and a major contributor to St Paul’s Cathedral’s Remember Me project, which raised money for a physical memorial to those who died of Covid-19 in the UK.
The timing of the announcement, while Parliament is in recess and on the eve of the Easter bank holiday weekend, has also raised eyebrows – although sources said the timing of the honours was linked to the need to make appointments to the Privy Council, including the new First Minister of Wales Vaughan Gething.
TalkTV’s Jake Berry discusses the story with conservative commentator Chloe Dobbs and broadcaster Matthew Stadlen.
