  1. >Labour mayor of London Sadiq Khan is to receive a knighthood in the New Year honours list, one of a string of political veterans to be handed gongs, according to people briefed on the document.

    >Khan, the first Muslim mayor of the UK capital who was elected for a third term this year, will receive his award for political and public service after almost two decades in frontline politics. He was previously an MP.

  2. Good, best mayor London’s had in a long time. Free school meals, campaigning for more livable rents, high quality new council buildings, TfL working pretty well, cycling infrastructure, very happy with it all. Though I imagine drivers are livid.

  3. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! The NHS is going to be overwhelmed with anger induced conniptions.

  4. As we speak, there are furious fingers at computer keyboards at the mail and telegraph.

  5. When will this travesty end? It’s more fake that the Oscars

  6. People only seem to be happy about this as it makes other people unhappy

  7. Emily Thornberry 🚐 is already a pantomime Dame.

    On a more serious level, shouldn’t we just get rid of Prime Minister’s honours lists altogether? They are inherently corrupt and contribute to a climate of cynicism and disillusionment.

  8. Becks thinking what else can he can do to get his…

  9. Is he going to run for a fourth term? I don’t mind Sadiq but I think we could use some fresh blood.

  10. Brilliant, might have to read the Daily Mail article on it just for a laugh! 😂

  11. Amazing. He deserves it. Forcing through the expansion of the ULEZ was a massive risk and he did it. Free school meals are expensive, he did it.

    Shame about the knife crime etc but you can’t have everything

  12. Hahahahahahaha

    When you thought things couldn’t become more shambolic and hilarious

  13. I’m all for this. He’s a good man and has done a lot of good for London and, in turn, the UK. And to walk tall and keep his chin up with the disgusting amount of hate he gets will always have me in admiration. I couldn’t do it.

  14. Quick, someone grab a turbine and a generator — this amount of boiled piss can power the country for weeks!

  15. Bloody Khan! Now he’s gonna become a Jedi too?

  16. Son of Bus driver,

    Knighted by king in London,

    Gammons sad, fuck em.

  17. I don’t care about this elitist outdated bollocks….i do care that it’s going to make sooooo many people angry.

  18. Guy gets off on making driving more difficult in London while doing nothing to stop transport providers from jacking fares yet not paying employees well that their unions call for strikes like nightclubs call for events. Now the bellend becomes Sir Dickhead

  19. Honours used to be associated with merit or actual virtues. At this point they have been devalued so much that I could not care less. Let Khan have is knighthood, I’m sure he’ll look lovely on a horse.

  20. As a royalist I like it when lefties take on board the patronage of the royal establishment, it’s how this country stops revolutions happening. Been working for centuries now.

  21. They have always and will continue to give out knighthoods like candy. Cereal box award.

  22. Hopefully once he’s got it the mumbling midget will keep his promise and leave the country.

  23. There’s going to be some seriously angry gammons after this news

  24. Quite notable that there doesn’t appear to be a single person in here saying it’s deserved.

    Just that it will piss off certain people
