Sadiq Khan was nominated for a life peerage by outgoing Prime Minister Keir Starmer in July 2026 as part of a list of 26 new peers. He was created Baron Khan of Tooting and sworn into the House of Lords on 15 September 2026 while continuing as Mayor of London. Supporters cite his record on crime reduction, air quality, housing and infrastructure as justification.

Khan is a huge threat to the UK
Certainly not while holding elected office.
He should be deported.
The guy has destroyed London covered up grooming gangs like his mates Burnham n Starmer
As usual, failure is rewarded. London is an absolute cesspit in my view, thanks to Khan.
What has Khan actually achieved that is of any merit? We should remove political appointees from HoL and instead have a senate drawn from hereditary peers (able to take a long term non party political view), law Lords, leaders of main Faiths and representatives of CNI, Istitute of Directors and TUC.
Nothing to do with Khan - the HoL is an anachronistic nonsense and shouldn’t exist.
With the revising Chamber being an appointed house, the PM can appoint whom he wishes. Khan however has not shown that he will add any intellectual heft to the House. I feel he is a poor choice.
The man runs London as his fiefdom is associated with all manner of criminals & terrorists but as part of the hard left / Islamo fascist Labour Party, his transgressions are ignored. It’s a disgrace he is allowed to get away with his antics & he is spearheading the Islamification of London. I have never met anybody who voted for him - even Pakistani Uber drivers marvel how he retains power as they don’t know who votes for him. Corrupt to the core.
Khan has a bad record as mayor. He has pretended the rape gang issue doesn’t exist and stopped resources going to policing and investigating it. A disgraceful decision, motivated by a nakedly partisan and sectarian desire to protect his ethnic minority voting base. He has wasted taxpayer money on pointless DEI scams. He has made life hell for motorists with an ever expanding LEZ and ULEZ.
