🏰💸The House of Lords — that velvet-lined relic of “tradition” — now looks less like a chamber of wisdom and more like the VIP lounge for Britain’s most scandal-resistant elite. You don’t get expelled; you just take a short break until the outrage cools off. Then it’s back to business — and by “business,” we mean collecting £380 a day to doze through democracy. 💤👑

Peerages were meant to honour service. Now they look more like participation trophies for political donors, corporate courtiers, and the “friends of friends” club. Accountability? That’s for peasants and public servants. Once you’ve got that ermine robe, it’s like wearing a scandal-proof cloak — woven entirely from old privilege and fresh denial. 🧥💂‍♂️

⚖️ Lords of Evasion: How to Fail Up in Westminster

It’s the same script every time. A lord or baroness gets caught in a “misunderstanding” involving money, lobbying, or moral gravity. They “categorically deny wrongdoing,” vanish for a few months, and then reappear like a bad sequel to The Crown. Meanwhile, the rest of the country wonders why the supposedly unelected watchdogs of democracy keep behaving like foxes in charge of the henhouse. 🦊🍗

If the public had the power to revoke titles the way Netflix cancels shows, half the Lords would be out of work by tea time. Maybe it’s time to treat a peerage like a driving licence — you abuse it, you lose it. 🚗💨

Why are we still funding this aristocratic afterparty for the politically protected? Should peerages be earned, or are they just loyalty points for the powerful? 🤔💣
