  2. “We will grind you down” Tory peers fighting abolition of hereditary peers

    Dining in House of #Lords canteen after #Labour came to power, one Labour adviser found themselves sitting opposite two #Tory #peers.

    In particular, the pair were fuming about the forthcoming #abolition of #hereditary #peers. Both agreed, the adviser said, that there should be a deliberate strategy to undermine the government on all its legislation

  4. The are weird. I entered the ballot to get tickets for the at . Today I got an email from them to tell me I was unsuccessful, but which also said "there are tickets available, you can buy them if you like". Which makes me wonder why they didn't just allocate me tickets in the ballot. Weirdoes.

    So ... I've got tickets. In my favourite part of the ground, the Mound stand, next to the shacks and the bar. There shall be !

    Our #ukgovernment has been #corrupt at least since the times of Pepys. Half the ships used for hulks on the thames were rotten though sold as good quality.

    #outsourcing corruption then was the same as for #ppi recently

    The #corruption will continue to worsen while we have this medieval and #archaic house of #lords. The house of #commons is at least #elected, even though many of the #members are abject liars and are probably worse thieves than dick turpin ever was. #ukpol

  6. Has anyone heard of any OUTCOME from the investigations into this woman's businesses?

    or does being in the #House of #Lords exempt you from #investigations and #prosecutions?...

    Couldn't agree more.

    This world is looking as bad as #middle #ages... but without daring to say its name, with #lords and #kings, vs peasants

  13. #Mone should not be in #Lords - #Starmer

    Gosh! #LOTO says something that might be popular with both left & right of #labour and with the electorate .....

    I suspect the incoming #labour govt are planning a big programme of change to clean up our polity.......long overdue!

  14. @SpeedStar

    The Peter #Mandelson of the #cameronEra

    ....perhaps she hopes to get a seat in the #lords now?

    Unless #labour defocus on the #fareham seat in #2024GE & let #libDem have a clear run I cannot see her being pitched out by voters..... but will she want to stay if she's not going to be leader? (I think it highly unlikely members will elect her as LOTO)

    The Enoch #Powell of her generation maybe?

  15. ‘Grubby horse trading’ in UK government over Honours list

    UK constitutional politics has sunk, lower still

    Negotiating over the honours list shows the grubby horse-trading that goes on around choosing new Lords

    Every new peer has been handed a job-for-life in parliament, which means decades of influence legislating
