Starmer Appoints 25 New Labour Peers, Shaping Lords
Update: 2025-12-10
Description
Sir Keir Starmer bolsters Labours presence in the House of Lords with twenty-five new peers, including Matthew Doyle and Katie Martin. This move, despite his predecessors promise to abolish the Lords, aims to correct an imbalance and ensure Labours agenda. Conservatives and Liberal Democrats also make nominations, while Reform UK receives none. This surge in appointments could potentially eliminate significant opposition to Labours agenda in the Lords by 2027.
