| "In his New Year's honours list. Woohoo another reward for failure! All aboard the HoL gravy train!" "Keir Starmer: I will abolish House of Lords to ‘restore trust in politics’ [Observer 19/11/2022] Exclusive: Labour leader plans a new elected chamber after accusing successive Tory governments of handing peerages to ‘lackeys and donors’" "It is understood that Labour will hold a consultation on the composition and size of a new chamber as well as immediate reforms to the current appointments process. Final proposals will be included in the party’s next election manifesto. It comes after a series of rows over peerages. Boris Johnson made a number of controversial appointments, including his friend Evgeny Lebedev, who owns the Evening Standard. He is expected to appoint political allies and junior aides as part of a forthcoming list." Well, what a difference 2 years made. Or not really. "Restoring trust"! |
