I’m pretty certain that they are AI monk
I’m slightly obsessed with AI generated imagery at the moment!

varian - I don't think a minimum age is the answer. The answer is transparency as to why they are there.

Asside from the "privilege" of office, to be eligible to claim (up to) £323
allowance per "sitting" day for life is a massive honour in my opinion. I want to know why they are there.

I just can’t believe that there is any way this honour is justified and amazed that Sunak agreed to this. It dishonours this system. Another lasting unwanted legacy of the Johnson era. And she just looked so smug and self satisfied.

We could end the system whereby retiring PMs are allowed to chuck in any name chosen for their own political agendas or to silence those who might be able to dish the dirt. The whole system is a joke really. There should be a committee consisting of cross party representation who vets these proposals.

There is already a committee that vets nominations to the Lords. It has no teeth. Johnson just ignored it and went ahead ennobling the son of Russian agent.

I think it was Johnson’s way of showing what contempt he has for everything: just him pushing the boundaries to see just how far he can go like a young child. Which he still is.

Absolutely disgraceful. Another example of the country suffering from 'long Boris'.

MayBee I totally agree.
Everything is like a big two fingers up to us.
Ironically reminiscent of his hero, Churchill

But he doesn't get which way round his fingers should be.

It would make a great cartoon (even if I do say so myself!)
I might even have a go at it
