The #HouseOfLords blocked a bill to improve employment terms and conditions.
Why did we hold a #GeneralElection, if the party and policies we chose can be overturned by unelected stooges for opposition (‘losing’) parties?

Millionaire Tory Lord Donald Cameron quit the Scottish Parliament to take a seat in the unelected House of Lords. Since taking his seat in the outdated chamber, he has claimed more than £34k of taxpayers' money. How can we claim to be a democratic nation when the lords still exist? #AbolishTheLords

It's not enough to just remove the last few hereditary peers, we need a smaller, democratically elected second chamber, where voters decide who goes in, and who has to leave. If you agree, add your name:
Another House of Lords scandal? We urgently need real reform of the upper chamber.
It takes 30 seconds

And constitutional reform to #AbolishTheLords and #AbolishTheMonarchy
I would move Parliament out of London to the NORTH too!

“Above all, electoral reform could incentivise so many apathetic voters back to the polls. It could also steer them away from populist politicians who would be all too glad to exploit public exasperation at under-representation and wasted votes – [..].”

Is Proportional Representation really too great a risk for Starmer?
Despite increasing pressure from public and politicians to reform our dysfunctional electoral system, the Labour government refuses to consider it

Let's get rid of the REAL 'welfare scroungers' in the UK!
Vast majority of the Lords (with a few exceptions) are a parasitical waste of space and a burden on the public purse.
Please sign the ERS petition to tell the government we want to #AbolishTheLords

It seems we touched a nerve in the House of Lords yesterday for highlighting that peers get paid £361 a day, tax-free, just for attending. Sign our 'Nasty Petition' for a smaller, democratically elected House of Lords today. ers.tools/house-of-lords

Over the last few years I've gone from "an important part of the parliamentary system" through "but needs reform to stay relevant" and only latterly arrived at "Tear it down. The whole rotten edifice."

Isn't it crazy that you can be found to have ripped off the government to the tune of £122m and still retain your position as a legislator for life.

The reputation of the House of Lords is already in the gutter - more political allies and party donors being added only damages its reputation further. Add your name to our letter.

Ludicrous, isn’t it?
Not like the Chamber is big enough for all of them is it, so without remote voting, they’ve got an excuse not to be there 🙄
Plus it’s stuffed full of cronies.
AND only 239 women, less than 30% of total.
Yup, 29% women, 71% men 🤬
