Nicola Sturgeon: Honours System and Brexit Vote

nicola sturgeon: People will rightly look at this knighthood and wonder how it relates to the looming Brexit vote in the Commons, said a spokesman for the Scottish National party leader, Nicola Sturgeon, according to The Guardian. That brings the honours system into disrepute. Downing Street announced the award had been granted to John Hayes MP, a junior minister to May when she was the home secretary, on Friday afternoon. But, more fundamentally, it exposes how broken the whole Westminster system is. We need to know if anything has been promised in exchange for this honour. The shadow cabinet secretary, Chris Matheson, also criticised the move, saying it would be a spectacular act of desperation for Theresa May to be giving away knighthoods in a bid to win votes for her botched Brexit deal . He added This stinks of cronyism from the prime minister. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
