Lord Prescott kicked out of the House
I didn’t know that Lords could be removed from the House of Lords!
I thought once you were in, you were in for life. Apparently inaction and non-attendance means you can be removed.

RE: Lord Prescott kicked out of the House
When Labour announce they wanted to introduce a mandatory retirement age of 80, my first thought was, "that can't remove many people" and then I saw how many it would remove and was shocked.

The irony is that they announced it the day Starmer went to meet Biden.

I could buy a years worth of sandwiches for going to work, if I just got one days allowance in the Lords :D

TBF one days allowance is only equivalent to a decent bottle of Champers don'tcha know.

RE: Lord Prescott kicked out of the House
Im sure his attendance dropped after he had a stroke, so understandable
RE: Lord Prescott kicked out of the House
Stroke. That's no excuse, for that attendance money I would turn up even if I was dead. And likely the Lord's would not notice till I smelled :D
RE: Lord Prescott kicked out of the House
Depends if the tin foil hat made you smell sooner or later.
