The list includes Conservative donor Jon Moynihan and ex-Vote Leave head Matthew Elliott for peerages, along with Ruth Porter, former senior aide, as a peer.

Despite criticism and calls for newly appointed Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to reject the list, it comprises 11 names such as Tory MPs Alec Shelbrooke, now knighted, and Jackie Doyle-Price, named a dame. Non-political figure Shirley Conran also received damehood for her work in mathematics education.

The honours, including peerages and knighthoods, follow Truss’s short term marked by economic fallout. Labour and the Lib Dems condemned Sunak’s approval of the list, seeing it as an inappropriate reward for loyalists. However, Downing Street defended the list's timing and integrity, maintaining it followed a historical convention.

Notably, the list promotes Matthew Elliott, Ruth Porter, and Jon Moynihan to the Lords, while Conservative MPs Rob Butler and Suzanne Webb receive CBEs. Truss's former advisors, Sophie Jarvis and Shabbir Merali, and party chairman David Hills, were also honoured. Critics argue such honours compromise the system's credibility.
