The Lords didn’t start as a quirky side-room of Parliament.
It started as power — and slowly turned into restraint.
That shift explains a lot of today’s confusion.

This kind of conservatism makes the UK a hard country to love. It's not difficult to understand why so many Scots and a growing number of Welsh want to head for the exit.

>>...they have sought to dismember key elements of the employment legislation, one of the government’s flagship laws. For the third time in a row, the Lords supported a slew of Conservative-backed amendments to weaken workers’ rights. The opponents included dozens of hereditary peers, among them the 9th Duke of Wellington, descendant of the more famous one who battled Napoleon at Waterloo. <<

Not for the first time, I feel warm and wistful about Bonaparte.

I would like to see a future Labour government shift power from Westminster to the UK's other nations and regions. Yet how this might be done remains a daunting question - or set of questions.

Getting sensible answers requires us to look back twenty years to the North East Devolution Referendum of 2004. What went wrong there? Was it, as this piece suggests, a matter of campaign tactics and communication ? Or was there something amiss with the devolution proposal in itself?

@Silversnapples
That already applied to every other national institution that they've sold off to their chums over the years. The fact it wasn't theirs to sell didn't stop them. And no-one else did either. No #UKConstitution or Constitutional Court to protect the national wealth from crooks in govt.

#Starmer launched the #Labour response to the #gordonBrown review into #ukConstitution this morning. For someone the #farLeft complain is a #closetTory that response seems to be rather more significant than a bit of window-dressing
