UK government considers downsizing House of Lords
The UK government is considering downsizing the House of Lords, with discussions taking place between Prime Minister Liz Truss and senior peers, including former cabinet ministers. The move comes after Boris Johnson created more than 90 new peers in three years, taking the total to over 800. Rishi Sunak is also holding private meetings with senior peers to discuss reforming the House of Lords and ward off Labour's threat to abolish it.
