Sunak's honours list making Gove,Cleverly and Hunt members of the House of Lords adds to the many many reasons why the House should be abolished and an elected 2nd chamber should be created.
Rewarding failed politician by adding them to the gravy train is old fashioned and needs to stop.

‘The entire clown show caught up with us’: Tory infighting erupts after defeat

Honours for key figures behind decision to hold July election becomes focus of anger among senior Conservatives• General election 2024 – live news

The Guardian
"It all read like the honours list of a man who doesn’t just think he’s going to lose the election, but is gunning to make history and shed his seat on the same day, permitting a clean break and the chance to eff back off to Silicon Valley at his very earliest convenience."
