Unprecedented and unconstitutional: Tories want to put people in both Houses of Parliament at once
What new devilry is this from the Conservative government?
Here’s the blurb from this A Different Bias clip:
Boris Johnson wants to reward up to eight loyalists with peerages, but this would trigger a number of by-elections for the Tories which could prove highly embarrassing.
So, according to a report in the Times, the plan is to defer the peerages until after the election.
The problem is that this would mean that over half a dozen Johnson loyalists would technically be members of both Houses at once.
This is unprecedented, unconstitutional and would force the King into committing a political act, just as Johnson forced the Queen to do in 2019.
Here’s the clip:
