As we now know, Nadine Dorries isn’t getting a peerage as she won’t stop banging on about it, so she quit as an MP. But a dog walker and hairdresser get peerage, she must be furious.
Some might argue a dog walker and hairdresser actually perform a function, one assumes they did their jobs well. Did Nadine?
However, quite a few people got through the nomination list and people are wondering why?
Charlotte Owen, 29, joins former cabinet minister Jacob Rees-Mogg and Tory MP Andrea Jenkyns in being elevated to the House of Lords by the ex-prime minister.
“She’s had a few jobs in Parliament,” Sky News’s Liz Bates said.
“She did in the end work for the Number 10 policy unit. And I think at the end of her political career she was working for Liz Truss and the chief whip at the time, not an illustrious political career by any stretch, but she will go to the House of Lords as well.”

Dog walker
Sarah Vaughan-Brown, 48, formerly personal adviser to Johnson’s third-wife Carrie, was made a member of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for her political and public service.
Vaughan-Brown’s role included walking the couple’s four-legged pet Dilyn.
Hairdresser
Kelly Dodge, who is described as a long-time parliamentary hairdresser, was also given an OBE for her service in Westminster.
Michael Gove joked about Boris Johnson’s honours list by saying his hairdresser Kelly Dodge deserves her OBE for services to the ex-PM’s famously bouffant blonde head of hair.
