Default 'Billionaire spiv' stripped of knighthood
Couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke!

The House of Commons has unanimously backed a move to strip Sir Philip Green of his Knighthood.

The vote is not binding, but increases pressure for a formal process to begin.

It comes after BHS went into administration shortly after being sold for £1 by Sir Philip, with a £571 million pension scheme deficit.

I'm sure he's devastated, and is crying into his billions.
