Fresh from expressing his desire to appoint his preferred unelected bureaucrats to the government after spending a lifetime railing against unelected bureaucrats being given positions in the government, Farage has suddenly changed his mind on the utility of Britain’s second chamber of Parliament, the House of Lords.
Nigel Farage before he has any hope of getting himself or anyone from whichever party he was in at the time into the House of Lords:
All I can say is the House of Lords is stuffed full of former MPs, party donors, spivs, former European commissioners, they’re a London-based clique, most of them are mates of Blair’s and Cameron’s.
The whole place is a complete and utter disgrace and the sooner we close the whole shooting match down and replace it with an elected Senate the better!

Nigel Farage calls for the House of Lords to be abolished:
Do we abolish the House of Lords?
Yes we do. It’s bloated, it’s ludicrous, it’s packed with 100s and 100s of David Cameron’s mates and Blair’s mates.
Nigel Farage after getting a sniff of the opportunity to load it with his own corrupt cronies, shady donors and billionaire friends:
His “modest request“:
Farage said “Reform UK wishes to appoint life peers to the upper house at the earliest possible opportunity”.
