Rebecca Long-Bailey wants to abolish the House of Lords
Labour leadership contender also says she would not block Scottish independence vote
The Labour leadership contender Rebecca Long-Bailey has said she wants to abolish the House of Lords and would not stand in the way of another Scottish independence referendum.
The shadow business secretary, who is a close ally of the outgoing leader, Jeremy Corbyn, said having “completely unelected people” within the structure of government was wrong and representative of the “Westminster bubble”.
