#peerages — Public Fediverse posts

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/jul/16/keir-starmer-makes-sadiq-khan-a-peer-in-the-house-of-lords. Interesting, but the #HouseofLords should be abolished, & so should #peerages. I, for one, am fed-up to the back teeth with living in a #country that appears to be content to be a #medieval theme-park for #foreign #tourists, whilst doing NOTHING about its grotesque #social & #economic #inequalities.

#EveningStandard smear campaign against #SadiqKhan is in full swing ...

Yes - but we have to start somewhere if we want the HoL to represent us! Next target should be hereditary peerages! #peerages

Nadine Dorries may be blocked from becoming a peer.

The former minister's ' false assertion a ‘reality tv’ show she was involved in used actors may be used to block her path to the Lords.
