Make the next Queen's and New Year's Honours Lists exclusively for key workers
Make the next Honours Lists the best and most important ones ever by showing how proud we are of all those who have gone above and beyond during these difficult times.
We should only honour Key workers including NHS staff, ambulance staff, Local Council workers, teachers, TAs, Police, shop workers, lorry drivers and everyone else who has helped this Country stay functioning. The Honours should reflect the tireless efforts that have been demonstrated by people during these unprecedented times of Covid-19.
