London Mayor Sadiq Khan is set to be made a peer as Prime Minister Keir Starmer prepares to step down. Multiple outlets report that Khan is included in a batch of new House of Lords appointments announced ahead of the end of Starmer’s time in office and distributed in a “resignation” or end-of-term honours list. The announcements place Khan among other Labour figures receiving peerages, with figures for the total number varying by outlet: some cite 15 additional Labour appointments, while others describe 25 or 26 new peers in the overall list. Coverage also says the peerage is issued by the outgoing prime minister, in line with the wider honours authorisation for new members of the Lords before Parliament breaks for the summer recess. The Evening Standard reports that Khan is not expected to seek a ministerial role in any incoming Labour government under Andy Burnham. Overall, the reports agree that Khan’s appointment is part of the broader package of House of Lords peerages made by Starmer as he leaves office.
