British political parties have expressed concerns over Labour leader Keir Starmer’s plans for House of Lords reform, which they believe could lead to an influx of people being handed peerages. Starmer has pledged to reduce the size of the upper chamber by half and introduce a new process for appointing members. However, critics argue that this could result in a significant expansion of the chamber if Starmer were to grant peerages to large numbers of individuals as part of the reform.
