I spotted it! None are "elected", all of them appointed.

Quite, that is why. I referred to them as "unelected Lords", the etc was to cover the Bishops and any other spurious unelected spongers 😊

There has been a lengthy HoL reform bill going through Parliament since last year. All of the proposed (and correct IMO) amendments to get rid of hereditary peerage, reduce the size of the House, end Prime Ministerial patronage etc. have all been voted down.

What a surprise 😂 I suppose, like Turkeys, potential Turkeys do not vote for Christmas 😂

Quite, so if the RMT demands are aimed at getting their members a salary that will allow them to buy a house in London, they're not exactly being realistic. Even by junior doctor standards, a hike of over 100% is a just a little bit on the high side....

But if we don't pay them millions of pounds then they'll all leave and bugger off to dubai or something. Or is that only the vital billionaires?
