  7. I am sending the assisted dying bill back to the Lords – and this time, peers must do the right thing | Lauren Edwards
    By Lauren Edwards

  12. #Starmer has just made the #HouseOfLords even worse.

    In 1958, the Lords was a set of #HereditaryPeers & bishops. On Tuesday, the House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Bill passed, making the Lords a bunch only of #LifePeers & bishops. 68 years from a club of #inbreds to a club of #cronies & donors.

    The #ParliamentAct1911 promised an elected upper house, but it never arrived. 115 years later, the so-called "#LabourParty" leaves bishops as the only independent Lords. This is not #democracy.
