  "textContent": "\n\n\nSir Keir Starmer has been accused of trying to \"buy off\" Sir Sadiq Khan by looking to hand over a peerage to the Mayor Of London.\n\nThe potential peerage would follow what is expected to be a damaging round of local elections while the Prime Minister seeks to strengthen his position.\n\nWestminster insiders claimed the appointment would help Sir Keir \"shore up his position with patronage\" during a period of political instability.\n\nCommenting on Sir Sadiq's potential promotion, Keith Prince, a Reform UK London Assembly member, told GB News the move could be Sir Keir's bid to \"buy off\" the Labour mayor.\n\nHe told GB News: \"Well, it can't be a reward for performance, can it? Let's be honest.\n\n\"He must be one of the worst performing mayors in the history of the mayoralty. I could list a whole range of areas where he's underperformed.\n\n\"I think Starmer's almost being clever here. He's obviously sees Khan as a threat to him. And we saw what he did to the mayor of Manchester...\"\n\nThe Prime Minister received a slew of criticism for voting down leadership rival - and \"King of the North\" - Andy Burnham's bid to return to Westminster earlier this year.\n\n**_WATCH KEITH PRINCE'S FULL ASSESSMENT ABOVE._**\n\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter**",
