  1. Two Lords have been suspended from the House of Lords for breaking lobbying rules. Lobbying on behalf of commercial interests, which I think is a euphemism for something probably illegal and not dissimilar to what the bloke who's just got 10.5 years in prison did.

    Why can't we just "de-Lord" them? We undeniably have an archaic and corrupt democracy.
