#Starmer's ''reforms' have taken the UK's #HouseOfLords from 85% appointed cronies to 96% appointed #cronies. He ejected the 92 #HereditaryPeers, but kept the 26 bishops and about 700 cronies.

It's over a century since the Parliament Act 1911 promised the UK an elected upper house, but not "immediately". The number of elected members remains 0%. Zilch. Nada. Nothing.

96% appointed cronies. And they call it "democracy".
