Most of us want an end to having hereditary peers - it's an anachronism - but why not also end having peers appointed by the PM of the day? Appoint people on merit not patronage?
And 26 bishops! Why?

Anneliese Dodds is right: Starmer's cut to overseas aid will "remove food and healthcare from desperate people" and damage the UK's reputation - and the debate about increasing defence spending should instead be about raising taxation or changing fiscal rules.

Yet again, if these were climate protestors, there'd have been multiple arrests, with some facing years in jail for "public nuisance". But farmers can block the road and drown out the Prime Minister and the police won't touch them.
