Tommy is not wrong to say that having in the House of Lords gives "democracy a bad name". But as his own party, the , has consistently acknowledged, the gives a bad name. If anything, the bishops are sometimes among the more sensible participants. But there are no good reasons why unelected people should be members of a legislature

Sandi Toksvig notes that "[t]here are only two countries in the world where representatives of the state religion automatically get a seat in the legislature: the UK and Iran."

She thinks it's time for the UK to remove the Anglican bishops from parliament. When the bishops have used their votes to try to block the advance of LGBTQ rights, she notes that giving them automatic seats in parliament has practical consequences for everyone.

She's absolutely right. Deep shame on all the . If is the only solution then so be it. Tear the whole institution apart and rebuild with actual love as the foundation, not this tiresome bigotry. It's destroying and even ending lives.

The Church of England is central to the wider Anglican communion, which represents more than 85 million people in over 165 countries.

"Same-sex couples would still not be able to get married in a Church of England church," the statement said

Separately, Church of England bishops will be issuing an later this week to LGBTQI+ people for the "rejection, exclusion and hostility" they have faced in churches, according to the statement.

@GottaLaff @parislady1492 Some are in on it. Some are the same ones who don’t like Francis and his light touches of Liberation Theology. Some right-wing bishops are pro-authoritarianism, some were part of the abuse cover-up. Some are part of all of the above.
