Nigel Farage's Reform UK peers demand leads to House of Lords calls

The defence secretary has accused Nigel Farage of being a Putin apologist as he dismissed calls from the Reform UK leader to be allowed to nominate peers to the House of Lords

"Abolish The House of Lords" update, from the people who are opposed to the metropolitan elite.

If hes got a broader appeal at all, its being seen as somebody who represents ordinary people.

Farage's bid for Reform UK peers is "misjudged" and he should focus on issues of day-to-day Conservative voters, says Labour peer Lord McConnell.

"Nigel Farage demands right to nominate Reform UK peers."
#Reform should also demand that they get fair coverage in the so - called mainstream Mafia.

I have no time for Reform UK at all but in this specific instance, stopped clock-like, I think Farage is right. His party should be invited to nominate a modest number of peers to the House of Lords.

"Starmer might have to go in months."

"I don't think he will survive a year [as prime minister]."

"Of course [he will be prime minister till 2029]."

Reform UK deserves representation in the House of Lords after winning over 4 million votes and leading national polls for months. The current system creates an unfair democratic disparity where smaller parties with fewer votes get peers while Reform gets none. This goes against basic democratic principles when a party that won the only by-election of this parliament has zero voice in the upper chamber.

Farage's demand is hypocritical since he previously called for abolishing the Lords entirely and now wants to pack it with his allies. Parliament doesn't need more Putin apologists when Reform's voice has been conspicuously absent from crucial debates on Ukraine and Russia. Starmer should wait to see if Reform proves itself as a credible, established party over the coming years.
