Sir Keir Starmer has become famous for his voluntary and prolific U-turns, but on this occasion it looks as though his hand has been forced.

The article discusses the challenges faced by UK Labour Party leader Keir Starmer in fulfilling his pledge to abolish the House of Lords, a promise he made during his leadership campaign. Despite his intentions, Starmer has encountered significant obstacles, including the need for a substantial majority in the House of Commons to pass such a reform, which Labour currently does not possess. The article highlights the complexity of the issue, noting that even with a majority, the process would be fraught with difficulties due to the Lords' ability to delay legislation. Furthermore, Starmer's recent comments suggest a shift in focus towards more immediate economic and social issues, indicating that the abolition of the House of Lords might be deprioritized or approached differently, possibly through reform rather than outright abolition. This situation underscores the political realities and compromises leaders often face when transitioning from opposition to potential governance.
