       Should Nigel Farage get a knighthood? (Image: Getty)

       The King's Birthday Honours will be announced tonight, and Reform leader Nigel Farage is pipped as a potential candidate. While dozens of lesser-known MPs have been awarded knighthoods, The Express learned Mr Farage was consistently snubbed, after a source said he had been recommended for a knighthood "at least five times" but was blocked by the "establishment" in 2023.

       It is understood Boris Johnson put Farage forward for a knighthood while he was Prime Minister for his services to Brexit, but it was blocked by the committee. This year, William Hill has placed odds of Nigel Farage's chances of being knighted at 100/1.

       It was heavily criticised by senior Conservative politicians, citing the cost of housing and transport and crime rates, which they said had risen under his Mayoral candidacy.

       A 220,000-strong petition to prevent the Knighthood read that a "once thriving capital is now divided and stagnant, and all under his watch".

       Gavin Williamson was also awarded a Knighthood, despite being Education Secretary for the Covid exam disaster, and being sacked as Defence Secretary for allegedly leaking secure information.

       The news prompted fierce backlash, with Labour calling Williamson’s record “disgraceful” and the Liberal Democrats calling the knighthood “an insult to every child, parent and teacher who struggled through Covid against the odds”.
