UK: Sadiq Khan has been given a peerage by Keir Starmer just days before the prime minister stands down, potentially opening the door to Khan joining Andy Burnham’s cabinet in future. The London mayor has long been tipped for the House of Lords, with Starmer said to have been keen to put him there immediately after the May local elections in an attempt to shore up Labour’s progressive flank. While Burnham and Khan have worked closely together over the years, the mayor has reportedly told the prime minister-in-waiting that he has no wish to be a minister in his government at present. Sources close to Khan said he was committed to focusing on the last two years of his mayoral term, and has not yet announced whether he wants to seek a fourth term in 2028. Join EJN:
