Whether Starmer’s decision to appoint 30 new Labour peers is a good thing depends on your perspective, Catherine. While appointing peers gives Starmer more influence in the Lords, it doesn’t change Labour’s position in the House of Commons, where the real power to make laws lies. Although this move could help reduce the Conservative majority in the Lords, some may argue that it contradicts Starmer’s commitment to reforming the House of Lords.

Catherine, you don’t need to be deeply involved in politics to see that many are disappointed with the Labour government. People from all walks of life, rich or poor, feel let down. Recent polls show that nearly half of Labour voters share this frustration, believing the government has fallen short of expectations since taking office.

I personally hope that 2025 brings brighter days for everyone, with a future filled with hope, stability, and the long-awaited answers that countless individuals need about what lies ahead for disabled people. Wishing you and your daughter a very Happy Christmas. xx
