Starmer Appoints 25 New Labour Peers to Lords
Update: 2025-12-10
Description
Keir Starmer, Labour Party leader, appoints 25 new peers to the House of Lords, aiming to strengthen Labours influence and rebalance the chamber. Notable appointees include Matthew Doyle, Katie Martin, Carol Linforth, Richard Walker, Michael Barber, and Len Duvall. Critics argue the process is undemocratic, but Labour plans to modernize the Lords, introduce a retirement age, and remove hereditary peers right to sit and vote. Conservatives appointed three new peers, while Liberal Democrats added five.
