Keir Starmer has appointed 30 new Labour peers to the House of Lords, including Sue Gray, his former chief of staff and the investigator of the "partygate" scandal. The appointments aim to boost Labour's representation in the House of Lords, currently dominated by Conservatives. Other notable appointees include former shadow cabinet minister Thangam Debbonaire and former deputy prime minister Therese Coffey. The move comes as part of Labour's plans to reform the upper chamber.
