Sunak made Chris "Failing" Grayling a lord in the dissolution honours sneaked out on election night
I guess this was "a good time to bury outrageous news":
Former cabinet minister Chris Grayling has been granted a peerage by Rishi Sunak in a surprise batch of dissolution honours released late on polling day.
Once dubbed probably the “most incompetent minister in all time” for his management of the transport department in Theresa May’s government, Grayling will now be able to sit in the House of Lords.
He also served as employment minister, lord president, justice secretary and leader of the house of Commons under David Cameron.
The chair of Tory backbench group the 1922 Committee, Graham Brady, was also nominated by Sunak, as was former prime minister Theresa May.

A national punchline has been given a legislative job for life.
