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

The will of the elected chamber – and a popular, compassionate piece of legislation – must not be frustrated again by a small minority of peers

Bizarre statement by #AnasSarwar! 🙄

It's about his decision to eff to London, to a seat in the unelected #HouseOfLords. He will also be a minister for trade, but as a Minster Of State, he will have no power. The prize here is the Lords seat for life

At the end, he refers to his successor, in a context that can only refer to the party leadership. But he never actually says that he is resigning as leader of #ScottishLabour. Is he still leader?

#scotpol#ukpol

A tough 5 years for Scotland's silliest clown show. Traditionally, every other year the leader of #ScottishLabour would be humiliatingly defenestrated, and replaced with someone even less competent.

#AnasSarwar cheated by staying for 5 years, almost a million times the average tenure. The comedy cane from losing elections with increasing severity.

Now he restores the humiliation by crawling to the #HouseOfLords.

#SLAB Leader #11 due soon. Don't blink, or you'll miss them 😅🤣

#Churchill was the Prime Minister when the British caused a famine in Iran during WWII by forcibly requisitioning stores of grain there.

Churchill was also the Prime Minister when India exported food ignoring a famine in Bengal during WWII. But 50 peers organized "a row": https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2026/jun/23/artwork-removed-national-portrait-gallery-helen-cammock-churchill-bengal-famine

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.

Lol, fuck off then.
I bet you'll be claiming your basic income for every day up until you send back your weasel fur coat....

I just signed the open letter calling on the #HouseOfLords to ban #MichelleMone now, until the criminal investigation into her deception over #PPEContracts concludes.
Will you join me?
