I too am astounded that Sadiq Khan received a knighthood!

I was sure Kevin Sinfield would be knighted given the superhuman efforts he has gone to in supporting people with MND but maybe I’m biased being in Yorkshire! He is such a fantastic role model showing how to be a good friend and he has consistently put others before himself. He is exactly the kind of person we should be rewarding in my view.

Yes, kitty, I’ve just read the list, looking for him.

And, where is Sir Kevin Sinfield?

The New Year's Honour's List has Sadiq Khan being given a knighthood. I am sure that will sit well with the families of children killed as a result of London knife crime, spiralling on his watch.
Stephen Fry and Gareth Southgate also receive knighthoods.
There are some awards for the Post Office campaigners too and these are the people I like to see recognised although I wouldn't be upset to see the Honour's Lists being abolished altogether.
