Sadiq Khan has been criticised for using a peaceful Suffragist women's rights campaigner to promote a new Overground line.

London’s Ginger Line has suddenly turned into a rainbow. Not only has Sadiq Khan given stretches of the Overground new colours, they have also been renamed. And, unsurprisingly, the Mayor, shrieval overlord of diversity and inclusivity, has chosen names that reinforce a particular view of London’s, and Britain’s, history, one that celebrates (or if we’re being more cynical, fetishises) the contributions, experiences and struggles of women and minorities.

London Overground's different lines were given new names this week and people are already coming up with their own nicknames for them.

The Labour mayor gave branding firm DNCO five months and £115,275 of taxpayers money to come up with Lioness, Mildmay, Windrush, Weaver, Suffragette and Liberty.

South east Londoners are outraged by Sadiq Khans new London Overground line names, with many calling the plans a "waste of money".
