@harriettmb By the look of the spelling, I think one of the American hard line wingnuts who are paying for this abomination wrote it for him. I read that he wants to stand as an MP in 2024, meaning he'll have to give up his knighthood. I don't know which is worse - having him in the Commons or the Lords.

Clarification needed here - it's not a knighthood he was gifted, it's a life peerage. A knighthood entitles you to be addressed as 'Sir', like for example Sir Alan Sugar, but does not come with a seat in the HoL.

A life peerage, on the other hand, entitles you to be addressed as 'Lord', as in Lord Sugar, as since being knighted, he has subsequently been been elevated to the peerage which supercedes his knighthood.
