It's not right that Lords should have less scrutiny than MPs.

They have a job for life in our parliament. It's time to do away with all of them and have a #HouseOfCitizens instead.

They're right, a Lords based on Prime Ministerial patronage has no place in modern society.
We must scrap the "Indefensible" (Keir Starmer's word) House of Lords and replace it with a #HouseOfCitizens

A #HouseOfCitizens is the upgrade to democracy we need, not just tinkering around the edges of the indefensible Lords.
