Starmer has announced a crop of new peers, and I bet all of them have been asked prior to their elevation to vote for their extinction in line with The Beloved Leader’s steadfast, unshakeable and total commitment to getting rid of the unelected chamber. Of course they have. There’s a few names I’m familiar with—Julie Elliot was MP for Sunderland Central but was also an old regional Labour Party colleague of mine (and David Evans, Labour Party general secretary who’ll be happy with his unelected position); Sue Gray we know about—as the woman who was selected to be tossed overboard by her disloyal master; Phil Wilson, former MP for Sedgefield, 100% loyal (as indeed they all are); Mike Katz of the so-called Jewish Labour Movement and Luciana Berger, former organiser of Labour Friends of Israel head up the Zionist clique (along with former LFI Chair and MP Steve McCabe). Sundry others, some of them perhaps deserving of a gong (ex-TUC general secretary Brendan Barber for example) got on the list. But for every one of them there’ll be 10 others who are now ruefully thinking where’s my ermine? Only 10?
