Youngest (28) peer to join a bunch of 71 yr olds (average age) and she wants to abolish the House of Lords
Good for her
A part at tradition that should be put down painlessly
Re: Baroness Smith
2I feel we need a 2nd house as a check and balance - the house of lords is an imperfect place for lots of reasons although I will say that whenever I see peers speak on TV they are, perhaps because they don't have to play to an electorate, calm, measured and reasonable and far more collaborative in approach than most MP's.mad norm wrote: March 21st, 2024, 3:48 pm Youngest (28) peer to join a bunch of 71 yr olds (average age) and she wants to abolish the House of Lords

I don't agree with heredity peerages and would question why a 28 year old is anywhere near the Lords (at 28 you haven't lived although equally 71 is a bit much) we need a balance and a LOT more 'normal' people in there - [say] a time served inner city vicar rather than a bishop or an ex service person from the ranks rather than a retired general.
