This is really shocking the Tory plan to rig the House of Lords

A plan to create 39 new Tory-supporting lords as a matter of urgency, to push through contentious legislation, has been proposed by the most influential political lobby group that advises the prime minister, Boris Johnson.

"Project Homer", a confidential document drafted by Sir Lynton Crosby's C|T Group and seen by ITV News, says that if there had been around 40 additional committed Tory supporters in the Lords, Boris Johnson would have avoided more than half of the defeats he suffered in the second chamber since becoming prime minister.

C|T also proposes what it calls professionalisation of the Tories' operation in the Lords.
 
Why didn’t Labour pack the HoL and then advise that is voted itself into oblivion? Irrespective of its advice, it has no democratic legitimacy.

That’s not correct is it? I don’t like the assault on out democratic institutions, but the 2021 Transparency Index places the UK 11th out of 180 countries.
