While everyone is distracted by headlines, the Government just moved one step closer to unchallenged power, the kind that can rewrite your rights, pass extreme laws, and reshape the country without meaningful debate.
Here’s what’s happening:
Keir Starmer Is About to Appoint 25 New Peers — On Top of the 30 He Already HandpickedAccording to multiple reports, Starmer is preparing to announce around 25 new members of the House of Lords before Christmas.
Last December, he already added 30 Labour-friendly peers.
That means:
55 new unelected lawmakers, chosen by Starmer All loyal to Labour All with the power to pass, block, or shape laws None of whom were elected by the public All inserted into a chamber Labour once promised to abolishThis is not “modernisation.”
This is not “reform.”
This is political control, disguised as procedure.
WHAT THIS REALLY MEANS
The Government Can Push ANY Policy ThroughThe House of Lords exists to challenge, scrutinise, and hold the government to account.
But if one party fills it with loyalists?
Then “scrutiny” becomes a rubber stamp.
Imagine:
• Digital ID laws
• Restrictions on protest
• Sweeping immigration reform
• New education policies
• Emergency health powers
• Policing bills
• Tax changes
• Land & property laws
…ALL passed with no meaningful resistance.
That’s how you slide from democracy → managed democracy → soft authoritarianism.
Labour Criticised Others for “Cronyism”…Now They’re Doing It at Double SpeedFor years, Labour said the Lords was outdated and undemocratic.
Starmer even vowed to abolish the chamber entirely.
Now?
He’s using the exact system he promised to dismantle — because now it benefits him.
That should scare every citizen, left or right.
When a party says one thing in opposition and does the opposite in power…
they’re not governing — they’re consolidating.
This Isn’t About Labour vs Tory It’s About Power vs The PublicWhen ANY government floods the upper chamber with its own people, the nation loses something vital:
Protection.
• Protection from rushed laws
• Protection from abuse of power
• Protection from legislation that hasn’t been challenged
• Protection from political overreach
If you remove the checks, you remove the balance.
If you remove the balance, you remove democracy.
This Is a Long-Term Play And It Will Shape the Next 10–20 YearsLords aren’t appointed for a few months.
They’re appointed for life.
Starmer isn’t just shaping today’s politics.
He’s shaping the next generation’s.
He’s locking in Labour influence far beyond the next election, even if the public vote them out later.
That is how you create permanent political architecture.
A system where the public’s vote matters less and less over time.
THE QUIET COUPPeople imagine a “coup” as tanks in the streets or soldiers at Parliament.
But the most effective ones don’t look like that.
They look like:
• Stacking institutions
• Changing rules quietly
• Centralising power
• Weakening scrutiny
• Increasing control while the public sleeps
This is how governments seize long-term power without ever firing a shot.
This is how you lose a democracy…
not all at once…
but piece by piece…
appointment by appointment…
peer by peer.
My Message to the You…You don’t fight this with anger.
You don’t fight this with division.
You fight it with awareness, pressure, and understanding what’s at stake.
Because once a government can pass anything without resistance, it becomes harder to stop them the next time.
And harder the time after that.
Until one day you realise:
The country changed.
The laws changed.
The freedoms changed.
The process changed.
And no one asked you.
If you care about the future of this country .. share this.Not for me.
Not for politics.
But for your children… who will grow up under the system being built right now, behind closed doors.
This is the moment people will look back on and say:
“That was the warning sign.
Why didn’t more people speak up?”
I’m speaking up.
You’re reading this.
Now let’s spread it.
