I must say, it's pleasing that Rt Hon Douglas Hogg QC is getting a peerage. The man who used expenses to clean his moat. Also, the Appointments Commission advised against his appointment in 2011.

Just perusing the honours list and a couple of things leap out..

Phillipa Rudkin - Constituency Manager, Tatton. For political service - so the woman gets an MBE for getting Gideon re elected?

BEM

 Alison Depass - Catering Assistant, 10 Downing Street. For public service

 Paul Schooling - Gardener, 10 Downing Street. For public service

 Marjorie Wallace - Catering Assistant, 10 Downing Street. For public service

And keeping Dishface fed and giving him a nice garden is "public service"?

So what is the unelected number now up to in our fine democratic country?

Put it this way, before today, there were already 30 more people in the House of Lords than in the entire European Parliament.
