TOXIC spin doctor Lynton Crosby will be knighted for “services to politics” today after running a "racist" Tory election campaign.

The infamous Australian will be presented with his gong by one of the Windsors at a lavish investiture ceremony at Buckingham Palace, the Royal Household told the Morning Star. 

His inclusion in the New Year’s Honours list was already hugely controversial and saw Prime Minister David Cameron accused of further “degrading” the patronage system.
