I think this is partly the palace, partly the PM. Britain means royalty and heritage and pomp and ceremony; and anyone disagreeing - whether an out and out republican or just calling for restraint - can be painted as doing the country down, unpatriotic, probably a lefty remainer who reads books and that.

As frugal as you can be with stables and 20 top flight racehorses.

That's a pretty political anti-Johnson honours list and not the usual Tory shits:

Sir Chris Bryant MP - Privileges Committee pursuing Johnson
Sir Grayson Perry - hardly a Tory...
Sir Bryan May - same
Sir Julian Lewis - Tory MP who opposed Johnson
Sir Alok Sharma MP - treated shabbily by Johnson
Tom Scholar OB - the civil servant who was fired from the treasury by Kwazi Kwarteng.
Prof Sir Michael Marmot CH who has spoken out on how policies such as austerity have affected public health.
Frank Skinner MBE - Labour supporter
Sir Ephraim Mirvis KBE - not 'one of us' of course - outspoken against Corbyn and Corbynism
Rosamund Adoo-Kissi-Debrah CBE - fought against the government to get better air quality
Helen Belcher OBE - Trans Rights campaigner
David Harewood OBE - mental health campaigner

Some of the papers tried to spin the political honours along the lines of 'Honours for MPs who made life awkward for Johnson in 2022'. Which seemed to be imply holding a prime minister to account for his actions was some kind of alien concept.

Rachel Riley will have pissed a few off.

Lots along these lines
Surprising lack of Dave Spart comments as to the irony of becoming a Member of the British Empire for raising awareness of genocide.

Definitely in a relationship with her Strictly dance partner.
Not interested enough to know the marital status.

She's been up the duff at least once. No indicator of marital linkage, mind.

She's been married to Pasha Kovalev since 2019. They have two children.

Google is your friend...

Me?
I'm doing my best to avoid a stalkerish web-history.

One of my in-laws has been awarded a gong, and he has anti-Johnson paraphernalia on his kitchen wall.

The Guardian has somehow managed to get its hands on a copy of Harry's book. Mail Online editor incandescent. The website is currently plastered with stories cribbed directly from "the left wing Guardian" leak.

It is really funny seeing Richard Eden the Mail's royal correspondent and Dan Wootton losing their shit because the book was leaked to the Guardian. They try and make out that they have never been the recipients of leaks from the palace.

Just shows that Harry's comments on how it all works are pretty spot on then.

The Sun now claim that one of their journalists has obtained a copy of the in Spain. Their journalist is currently digesting it so he will probably take 2 or 3 days if it contains any long words.

My wish is that Harry goes full Jeremy Kyle, and demands a televised DNA test

I just wish he hadn't given the press this distraction, on a day when our proto-fascist government announced it was taking away the right to strike and reintroducing indentured labour...

The best part is when he said he killed 25 Taliban.

No this is the best part

I’ve already got the message despite never having seen a full interview with Harry. Time for him to wind his neck in. If you want to be a ubiquitous interviewee that doesn’t become boring you need you need a stack of amusing showbiz anecdotes. He’s no Kenneth Williams or Barry Cryer.
