UK’s Labour vows to abolish House of Lords

LONDON, 07 December 2022, (TON): Britain’s opposition Labour Party vowed on Monday to scrap the unelected and “indefensible” House of Lords as part of a constitutional revamp to redistribute economic growth after Brexit.

Labour looks set to take power in the next election, due by January 2025, streaking far ahead of the governing Conservatives in opinion polls after a tumultuous period politically and economically.

Labour leader Keir Starmer promised “the biggest ever transfer of power from Westminster to the British people”, arguing that many voters in 2016 opted to quit the European Union because of a sense of lack of democratic control.
