A total of six people were stripped of their awards by the King
Conservative donor Lord Rami Ranger was stripped of his CBE on Friday following allegations he made derogatory comments about Pakistanis and harassed a journalist, in a rare case of an honour being forfeited. Tech entrepreneur Lawrence Jones also had his MBE nullified after being sentenced to 15 years in prison for raping two women and sexually assaulting a former employee. Revelations about his conduct emerged following a Financial Times investigation in 2019.
The House of Lords opened an investigation into Ranger in 2022 after independent journalist Poonam Joshi accused him of intimidation and bullying. In a string of social media posts, Ranger described Joshi as an “evil woman”, a “disgrace”, the “epitome of filth and garbage”. Though the Lords committee withdrew the whip from Ranger last year, it was restored last month.
