Starmer 'plans to make Sadiq Khan a Lord' with London Mayor 'to receive life peerage'
LBC ^ | 27 Mar 2026 | Danielle de Wolfe

Sir Keir plans to appoint the Mayor of London to the House of Lords after May's local elections, according to reports.

Labour faces major losses at the local elections based on current polling.

Suggestions that Sir Sadiq could soon become a life peer come after the mayor was awarded a knighthood last January.

A person familiar with the matter told the Financial Times that conversations had also taken place involving the PM offering Sir Sadiq a cabinet role.

Such a move could form part of the a potential cabinet reset after the local elections.

It is a move that would likely invoke heavy criticism, with an already unpopular Starmer having appointed more peers than any of the previous four prime ministers.

It also follows Sir Keir's previous comments in which he pledged to abolish the peerage system.

The Mayor of London has previously told LBC: "I’ve got the best job in politics. I’m thoroughly enjoying being the Mayor because I can deliver on the London promise that you work hard, you get a helping hand, you can achieve anything.

"I’ve worked really hard to make the city fairer, greener, safer, more prosperous and healthy. As long as I can deliver, I will carry on doing so."

In response to the speculation, Downing Street told LBC: "We do not comment on speculation around peerages as a matter of longstanding principle."

Indeed. He is an ideal “Lord Farquaad”.
One might hope he has a chance to become the first Lord to be hanged by the country.

Rope coated with bacon.

Televise it, please.

I thought only monarch could confer titles of nobility.
What if Charles III refused to ennoble him? Can he
do that?

Making him a lord is kind of a step down since “khan” means king or emperor.
