Just to be clear: I don't especially resent a younger person being in the #Lords. I resent all the Lords and if Charlie King had any cojones he'd issue writs of attainder against every last one of them. Legislators for life are abhorrent, unconscionable.
âTHE #Scottish #Government is holding âurgentâ talks to prevent a plot by unelected #Lords to give #Westminster new #HenryVIIIPowersâ to unilaterally scrap #Scotlandâs #environmental rules.
An amendment to the #UK Governmentâs Levelling Up and Regeneration Bill would give #London the power to overturn rules made by the #ScottishParliament â with minimal scrutiny or accountability.â

âGrubby horse tradingâ in UK government over Honours list
UK constitutional politics has sunk, lower still
Negotiating over the honours list shows the grubby horse-trading that goes on around choosing new Lords
Every new peer has been handed a job-for-life in parliament, which means decades of influence legislating

I missed this a few days ago: Scottish Secretary Alister Jack to step down at the next election. He's apparently on the #Johnson honours list for a seat the the #Lords

He may have a point!
I do think at some point the #Lords is gonna have to be reformed. It is completely out dated & it is used by the #PM of the day as a bribe to support their agenda. It has been corrupted by #Johnson. So need to change ASAP.
Boot all of them out and turn it into an elected upper chamber. However, they have saved the country on a few occasions throughout #Brexit.
FWIW the whole Lord/Lady/Sir/Dame thing is outdated! Time for it to go!

I just heard on a podcast an argument that the key period to push for political reform is a year before an election that looks like electing the opposition party for the first time in years & up to 2 years after they are elected - good luck to those pushing for #pr - IMO it is unlikely to be prominent in any #labour campaign but #lords replacement is on the cards....
