Their time is up, yet hereditary peers are still making a mockery of us – wasting parliament’s time debating the merits of their own demise.

92 aristocrats still get to shape the laws of our country - not because they’re qualified, but because of the family they were born into. Shamefully, Britain is stuck with lawmakers who inherit their seats like it’s the Middle Ages.

The government is finally trying to kick them out, but unsurprisingly, they don’t want to leave. We, the public, are the butt of the joke as they waste parliament’s time with boring speeches and pointless amendments.

We’re so close - but we need one last push to stop this shameful display.

They’re taking us all for fools. Britain deserves better than this.
