London Mayor Sadiq Khan's allies say he remains focused on his mayoral duties, dismissing speculation he will take a cabinet role. Downing Street has also denied reports of a cabinet offer, though Prime Minister Keir Starmer is expected to offer Khan a peerage after May's local elections. Khan could sit in the House of Lords while continuing as mayor.
