London Mayor Sadiq Khan has been officially announced as receiving a knighthood, leading to criticism of his performance in office. Richard Littlejohn questions Khan's suitability for the honour, citing issues such as rising crime rates and poor transport services in the city. Littlejohn also criticizes other individuals on the Honours List, including Andrew Haines, the head of Network Rail, and Emily Thornberry, a Labour MP. He suggests that the honours system should be simplified and that recognition should be given to those who have made a positive impact on society.
