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.

Mr Netanyahu next as "Sir" ?
The lords is the most openly corrupt load of bolocks going
Rich people giving other rich people hand job's. Eat the rich
More pigs at the trough
Its seems like rich foreigners can buy themselves into the House of Lords to make decisions for our Christian country, and why did our grandfathers etc fight two world wars for this treachery, the Tories have truly lost their way now in our corrupt UK country.
They are quick enough scrapping anything British don’t let these knighthoods be exempt time to scrap this outdated piffle
They have no shame. There will never be a Tory in power again.
Honours for bunging the Tory’s money , they really are so patriotic to the uk people 🤡🤡🤡🤩🤩
honor for diservice to people honor for robbing us and burglary in every home
Just more gobblygook garbage from Talk R it might be – it isn't to say – if I speculate – who knows – what a load of drivel.
Thames water are corrupt
Knighthoods should not be sold to donors of political parties. They should be earned by those who contribute to the economy and the country.
we not sick of the system, the system is amazing its just ran by the corrupted thats the problem.
I'm an ex Serviceman and retired AnE nurse…..
My services I gave my country…..
I expect nothing and am proud….
What is a Knighthood?
Antiquated and outdated piece of ego boosting….
It's all bollix.😂
Sunak Sunak Sunak OUT OUT OUT
Our useless criminal PM is really something else 😔
when i don't like someone,it's because they are lunatics
It really doesn't matter what it's called or what is done about the leader of the House because it has now gone way beyond redemption and clawback time. God forbid that Labour gets in by default because they will leave us in a worse state. I'm voting for Reform or one other like party to give a reasonable debate in the chamber. We will need a good opposition.
down with sunak
Honours should not be given to people who do their jobs. To give them to political donors is disgusting. Why are they donating to political parties? It's definitely not out of the goodness of their heart.
bought and paid for fekn disgrace
Politics won't save England now it's too late
You got the honour because you blindly support the Tory party.
This crowd of ass holes should not be allowed to honour anyone no lords nothing they should just get to F- – K out and let someone else in
That’s exactly how he is getting it
its alright for labour to do it with their luvvies and doners, but when it comes to the tories oh no can't have that, if this is the case why are there so many labour lords?
Little more than GANGSTERS.
Corruption of the highest level Sunak is a TRAITOR…
tell me what did you invent etc, the combustion engine, electro magnification, like faraday, chart the coasts like james cook, he's a fool couldn't even tie the lasses of my shoes
Well you have to create knighthoods to legimitize the take over of parliament and house of lords in the next decade.
You have no agency to comment on this. You Sir Jake Berry are a product of this totally corrupt system.
I was unofficially named online as a mentor and the top contributor to the University in Greenwich and Business School, I deserve an honour as I helped the university and students to fulfil their potentials since 2014 – I deserve recognition 🌍
Levelling up i think you lied about that aint been no levelling up under the Tories only people leveled up under then is the ruch the rest if us are far worse of than we have ever been call an election its basically money for rewards it getting annoying weve had enough of this crap
So he bought an honour, what’s new ?
It's not just money that buys knighthood.
Win a gold at the the Olympics, or win Wimbledon, your bound to get one or maybe a damehood!
Sunak should go now and take Hunt, i.e., Mr, Austerity, and your 350-plus mps with you. Tories have trashed Britain, and the electorate wants to know why they want to carry on governing a country that has no future under their policies. They have depressed their electorate and have given them no hope for the future. The only power the many have is their vote. The tories have given the majority of the electorate nothing. They have looked after the few themselves, the rich and big business, but there are not enough of them to keep tories in power. They dont deserve the vote of the many, i.e., working people, so use your vote to kick this failed government out. Tories have trashed Britain. MONEY NOT MORALS STOP THE TORIES STOP THE LIES STOP MONES BOAT

End all food and drink deliveries into the Borough of Westminster.
Stop feeding the beast.
