Labour’s plan to remove inactive peers is welcome, but the second chamber will still be undemocratic.

I’ve long called for scrapping the unelected House of Lords and replacing it with an elected second chamber that truly represents the people.

Following Welsh Labour’s shocking poll result yesterday, I thought I’d do them a favour and help them out… by asking which of the First Minister’s asks they are actually going to carry out!

Look at the response, it is clear that this isn’t working for Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Less jobs for people across Wales & less opportunities/choice for those wanting to study 📚

I asked the UK Minister for Skills how Wales would formally be included in her announced review of HE funding

Young People across the UK are losing out on opportunities to study and work in 27 countries.

We hear a lot about a “Reset” of the UK/EU relationship, but haven’t seen any action. The UK Government can (and should) be more proactive on this & submit their own youth mobility proposal to the EU 🇪🇺

The UK Government must do more to tackle image based abuse.

Doing nothing is a stark message to women and girls.

Here is a snippet of my speech in support of a Private Members Bill that provides a solution to this.

An unelected chamber shouldn’t exist in 2024.

Here is a snippet of my speech last night in the House of Lords during the 2nd reading of the Hereditary Peers Bill.

Will the UK government live up to their manifesto promises?

Will we see reform of Parliament in this decade?!

The heavy rain over the weekend caused a terrible emergency in Cwmtillery.

We need a commitment to the delivery of the full £600 million required to secure these dangerous coal tips for good.

It shouldn’t need repeating that an unelected chamber shouldn’t exist in 2024.

Here is a snippet of my Lords Reform speech in Parliament.
