The House of Lords is part of the UK Parliament. Also known as the Upper Chamber, it is independent from the House of Commons - where 650 Members of Parliament (MPs) debate and vote on new laws.

But there is a bigger scandal with the House of Lords, one that has been overlooked and which will persist even if Mr. Johnson’s appointments all turn out to be ethically aboveboard.

More than half of the House of Lords are over the age of 70, some are older than 90, meaning most of them were already of pensionable age when the internet took off.
