As factchecks go that was absolutely useless!
The first & last thing you have to look at is what the House of Lords does & if you're not bothering with that you're simply not doing a factcheck!
Read through the debates & Committees in Hansard or watch them on https://parliamentlive.tv see them making sense THEN start worrying about who is there & how they got there.
You gloss over the appointed Peers as if they're not there when in fact they're 7/8 of the Chamber & most are appointed on merit -- they're there to bring expertise to debates. Less than 1/8 of the Chamber are hereditary, 92 to be exact, yet you choose to spend almost your entire show on them, you spend huge amounts of time talking about their elections without talking about their elections, you read out their statements without once acknowledging these statements are a nonsense -- these people know each other, they know their qualities & their families, they too are elected on merit, they're chosen from 810 Peers of the Realm as having the most to offer the country.
This SHOW is pure populist drivel, something I would expect from Nigel Farage or the BBC.
We expect better, far better, from Channel 4!
