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.
