"UK Honours List Sparks Feud Between Johnson and Sunak"

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and former Prime Minister Boris Johnson are embroiled in a public feud over Johnson's bid to appoint his allies to the House of Lords. Sunak refused to clear a list of names Johnson had hoped to elevate to the unelected second chamber, prompting an angry response from Johnson. The feud centers on Johnson's resignation honors list, which allows a departing prime minister to appoint people to the second chamber and gift them titles. The appointments had to be cleared by the British prime minister, and Downing Street published a list of names that had been cleared by the House of Lords Appointments Commission to show that Sunak acted in line with the watchdog's recommendation.
