Arise Sir Sadiq Khan!

Few sane people would despite the assertion that Sadiq Khan has been an atrocious Mayor for London and his period in power has seen London become a grim and dangerous City. So it makes sense that he should be rewarded for this by…getting a knighthood.

The mayor of London Sadiq Khan is understood to be in line to receive a knighthood in the new year honours list, alongside other senior politicians who will also be given awards. Khan, the first Muslim mayor of an EU capital when elected in 2016, is expected to be awarded for political and public services after working for more than 20 years as a Labour politician, first as MP for Tooting followed by his mayoral role. Khan will be joined by other senior Labour MPs and Conservatives who either stepped down, or lost their seats at the last election.

Let me tell you that I DESPISE our Honours system and would love to see it abandoned. It has been entirely captured by the political establishment to spray honours on some of the most ill-deserving people you could imagine. But the case of Sadiq Khan is particularly egregious and I will tell you why!
