Sunak Criticized for Knighting Tory Donor Mansour

The honours list, unexpectedly announced before Easter, includes political and cultural figures.

Rishi Sunak faces backlash for knighting billionaire Tory donor Mohamed Mansour, raising questions of cronyism.
The honours list, announced before the Easter break, includes four Tory MPs and figures from film and AI.
Labour and critics accuse Sunak of disrespecting his office and suggest the move could indicate he doesn't expect to remain PM.
Mansour's £5 million donation to the Conservatives in 2023 was the largest single donation in over two decades.
Opposition parties demand transparency in the honours system, criticizing the timing and selection process.
