The public are sick and tired of political patronage and seeing prime ministers pack the House of Lords with their friends and supporters.
Our exclusive new polling found that found just 7% of people support Boris Johnson’s plans to hand out dozens of new peerages, months after he left office. It is time to end this squalid, undemocratic practice and replace the bloated Lords with a smaller elected second chamber where the people of this country, not ex-prime ministers, decide who shapes the laws we all live under.
