The End of the Peer Show

When in July 2024 the incoming Labour Government announced as one of its priorities to stop hereditary peers sitting and voting in the House of Lords, Unicorn's Chairman and backbench hereditary peer Lord Strathcarron decided to write about the political machinations involved in the Government trying to abolish him on the one hand, and the Opposition trying to foil abolition on the other. The result is an insider's guide to the workings of the Parliamentary process, with direct access to the movers and shakers involved, and a not always entirely complimentary commentary on the key players involved.

Ian Strathcarron is the author of many books, including Joy Unconfined! Lord Byron's Grand Tour Retoured; a trilogy of Mark Twain-related travel books: Innocence and War, The Indian Equator, and Mississippi Mayhem; and the philosophy works Living with Life and Mysticismand Bliss, all also published by Unicorn.
