Post Office hero Alan Bates not recognized in PM Rishi Sunak's honours list, despite 130,000 signatures for knighthood.
Post Office hero Alan Bates, who exposed the Horizon IT scandal, was snubbed by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak in a surprise honours list, while Tory MPs and a major donor received gongs. Over 130,000 people signed a petition calling for Bates to be knighted. He previously rejected an OBE due to ex-Post Office boss Paula Vennells still having her CBE, but she later returned it amid public pressure.
