The last refuge of the bureaucrat

When you cannot find a decent reason not to do something, you can always rely on the tried and tested.  The Guardian reports:
Theresa May will not intervene in the official process of approving David Cameron’s resignation honours list because it would “set a very bad precedent”, Downing Street has said.
It's nonsense of course.  Would anybody mourn the loss of the ability of an outgoing PM to reward his friends and cronies?
