GB News host and Conservative MP Philip Davies is to be knighted alongside a notable Conservative Party donor and three other Tory MPs.

The announcement comes as part of the latest honours list recommended by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to King Charles.

Davies, who has served in Parliament since 2005 and worked on numerous parliamentary committees, described receiving the knighthood as “very surreal.” His wife, Esther McVey, who presented a show at GB News alongside her husband until November, quit to become a minister without portfolio in Sunak’s cabinet.

Among the others honoured are businessman Mohamed Mansour, a senior treasurer for the Conservative Party and a billionaire who made a significant £5m donation to the party last year, Farming Minister Mark Spencer, and former ministers Tracey Crouch and Harriett Baldwin, who were awarded damehoods.
