This week, the last of the hereditary peers were expelled from the House of Lords. #JacobReesMogg reflects:

When you think about it, through the last 100 years, the #HouseOfLords has been moving towards the model of the Canadian Senate; odd really, given that most Canadians have nothing good to say about our Senate.

#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".

Congrats UK #HouseOfLords for blocking #AssistedDying Bill. 👍

I strongly support the principle of right to die, but I oppose legalisation without strong protection against #coercion. #KimLeadbeater's botched bill was opposed by every disability group. It's a scandal that her liberal supporters allowed this disgrace to pass the #HouseOfCommons.

I am unpersuaded that any safeguards could ever be adequate. But a #PrivateMembersBill will always be under-prepared.

The #HouseofLords, often in the shadow of the Commons, asserted its power during the reigns of James I and Charles I. But it would be eclipsed by #civilwar.

The Lords wasn’t designed to be the nation’s ethical conscience.
So why does it keep acting like one?
This is where the strain starts to show.
