The House of Lords is pretty ludicrous in the modern age anyway. But it is made more so by the idea a peerage is seen as an “honour” rather than job. And made worse still by the normalisation of failed PMs stuffing the place with their mates when they go. Johnson put 71 new peers in there overall. Truss 32. Sunak is now at 46. Starmer is at 45, and will now have to put in more just to make it broadly functional for the government to legislate. Politicians talk endlessly about politics needing to connect more with people. A major overhaul of our entire political system might be a start
