So generous of Putin to give Her Maj permission for Johnson’s mate to be sworn in to the Lords. Don’t you agree?

Make you sick.
The PM can make peers, he made one, what's your point?
Did our "Russian overlords" also approve bottler's elevation of the Prince of Darkness?

Leaving aside the seeming indecent haste to cram the Lords full of just about anyone, I’m not sure what Putin has to do with this particular appointment. I think the “approval” relates to our rules not theirs.
The uncomfortable thing for me is the fact that Lebedev, a fine person no doubt who has done lots of good with his money, is yet another “chum” in the chumocracy.
perhaps the HOL should be abolished all together.
then NO ONE can say that there is a chumocracy.
Chumocracy. Yes, very apt for this government.
did you vote Tory Spicerack... if so why
If we abolish the HoL, Emmie, it won't stop this lot handing out gov contracts (without bidding) to their 'chums'.
sure we could find plenty of instances of Labour doling out honours for god knows what, or handing contracts to their mates.
Seems just polite to get permission since it included part of the nation. Wouldn't have stopped the activity anyway.
seems some don't like Tory no matter what they do.
I could only vote Tory if we had a Tory Party in this country, Emmie.
Used to vote Ukip. Might vote for Lawrence? Fox in future. Who knows.
the you should have voted for Labour, see what they could have done
-- answer removed --
\\“Mr. Lebedev was ennobled for his services to the media industry and his philanthropic work,” they wrote, pointing to his campaigns that raised more than $100 million for charities dedicated to preserving wildlife and helping feed vulnerable people. //

Hes done more than most.
"According to the Gazette, the extravagant businessman's full title will be “Baron Lebedev, of Hampton in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames and of Siberia in the Russian Federation” "

Gud job hes not a footballer.Cudnt get all that on the back of his shirt ;-)

Given this is the 'News Topic' why do we have to put up with this ^^^^
