It's House of Lords time. And guess what? 25 Labour peers have been appointed, five Liberal Democrats, and three Conservatives. But I wonder, is Keir Starmer being a hypocrite?
Labour MP Alison McGovern is right in one regard, if a Government has been elected on a manifesto, it is not for the House of Lords to obstruct it.
It's called the Salisbury convention. It's been in place for well over a century, but in this case, where the House of Lords is delaying legislation, asking questions, these are all areas that were not in the Labour manifesto.
So I don't think the constitutional argument she puts up, though it could be correct, but in this circumstance, it's not. And guess what? I wonder how many peers Reform got? Absolutely none.

Your Say
The fact we've led the last 150 polls, the fact that every other small party, I'd say small by House of Commons representation, does have representation.
Absolutely nothing for Reform at alI.I did write a very polite letter to the Prime Minister three months ago to make the case that we needed a voice of some kind there.
And, you know, I didn't even get the courtesy of a reply.

“That really did surprise me, because I used to think that Starmer was basically a pretty reasonable bloke with whom I just disagreed on policy. I'm not quite so sure.
I think he's part of an establishment that is not only shutting down free speech, but literally wants to shut Reform out of the whole political system.
Well, I think it's pretty appalling.
