Labour is planning to appoint a significant number of new peers in the coming weeks in order to support its policies and address the gender imbalance in the House of Lords. Despite the party's pledge to abolish the House of Lords, it is making these initial appointments to strengthen its presence in the chamber. Key figures within the Labour party have compiled a list of individuals to be appointed as peers, with the aim of bolstering their ranks and facilitating the implementation of their legislative agenda should they emerge victorious in the upcoming election on 4 July. Currently, the Conservatives hold 104 more seats in the House of Lords than Labour, and women make up less than a third of the total 784 members. This move by Labour reflects a strategic effort to ensure that their policies are effectively pushed through and to address the underrepresentation of women in the upper house of Parliament.

Many long-standing Conservative MPs, known as the "big beasts" of the party, may be absent from the next parliament. A combination of retirements and potential losses in the upcoming election could drastically change the makeup of the parliamentary Conservative party. The departure of several prominent Tory figures, along with the possibility of others losing their seats, could result in a significant shift in Westminster. The absence of these experienced politicians could leave a void in the party's leadership and representation. As the election approaches, the future of these Tory "big beasts" remains uncertain. Their absence could reshape the political landscape in Westminster and have far-reaching implications for the Conservative party.
