This morning, the State Opening of Parliament took place, formally marking the start of the parliamentary session. Following the ceremony, the House of Lords will get straight down to work with a debate on a motion for an ‘humble address’.     The debate on the address is the formal name for debates on the content of the King’s Speech. The debates are held over several days, starting today, and give Lords members an opportunity to discuss the government’s agenda for the upcoming year.        📷 See more photos on Flickr https://lnkd.in/eumdZ2Dg    📄 Find out more about State Opening https://lnkd.in/edpX8dyW      📷 Roger Harris / Annabel Moeller     #StateOpening #UKParliament #HouseOfLords #HouseOfCommons #KingsSpeech

Sad that we have a government determined to remove hereditary links to the past in the House of Lords. It is just class envy. I hope the Lords unite to protect the hereditary element. After all we still have hereditary peers in the country who run some of the most successful tourim businesses. Also keeping the direct link to the monarch. This seems more just about making room for more political cronies appointed by Prime Ministers.
