My comment in the Daily Mail after Sadiq Khan's knighthood was confirmed.
Earlier this month, suggestions that Sir Sadiq was set for a knighthood prompted a The world's platform for change petition saying it should be blocked – attracting more than 200,000 signatures.
Tory London councillor Matthew Goodwin-Freeman started the petition.
He told the Mail: 'To see Sadiq Khan be given a knighthood is a kick in the teeth for millions of Londoners. He refuses to take responsibility for his failures and shows no remorse or accountability.
'His track record of failure makes his knighthood even more confusing: crime is up, police in special measures, fire brigade in special measures, his share of council tax is up, the number of days of strikes is up, robberies are up... He's a nightmare, not a knighted Mayor.'
