After the last embers of a wealthy partisanship in the House of Lords have died out, Kemi Badenoch MP (North West Essex/Conservatives) has come out swinging online for those that have now left its hallowed chamber, never to return, but with little reason to.
“So today, as an era closes, I want to put on record my profound gratitude and admiration for our hereditary peers. Britain has been better governed because of them. The Conservative Party has been stronger because of them. And Parliament will be poorer without them.”
Over centuries, these rarer folk have truly helped to define – along with their families – the way, the truth, and the life of the nation. It’s to be no more, now, but they’ll live, continuing their presence here, in a country that they helped to define, sustain, and probably fund.
