The recent appointments, which include 30 new Labour peers, signify a consolidation of influence within the House of Lords for Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour party, especially with the inclusion of prominent figures like former chief of staff Sue Gray. This move appears to bolster Labour's position amid ongoing discussions about reforms to the upper chamber.
While Labour had ambitions to abolish the House of Lords and replace it with a reformed upper chamber, their plans have shifted post-election. The current focus has transformed into consulting on these reforms while implementing immediate changes such as the removal of hereditary peerages, capping peer ages, and enhancing accountability for members.
