Show Notes
Sadiq Khan, Londons longest-serving mayor, may become a Lord in the House of Lords, following a peerage offer from PM Keir Starmer. This move aims to appease Khan, a vocal critic of Starmers government on issues like Heathrow expansion and welfare cuts. The decision raises concerns about political advantage and could trigger a mayoral by-election. As local elections approach, Starmers team hopes this move will steady the ship, but questions remain about party dissent and filling the Lords.
