Senior MPs and officials who caused trouble or came to blows with Boris Johnson have been recognised in the first New Year Honours list to be published since the ex-prime minister left Downing Street.

Conservative Julian Lewis, chair of parliament’s Intelligence and Security committee, and Labour’s Chris Bryant, chair of the Commons Standards committee, have both been given knighthoods.

And former cabinet secretary Lord Sedwill – who was pushed out after a row with chief of staff Dominic Cummings – has been made a Knight Grand Cross of the Order of St Michael and St George.
