Multiple reports say UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is expected to submit names for a resignation honours list, with an additional 19 Labour-linked peers reportedly planned as one of his final acts in office. One outlet claims Starmer will add a further 19 people to the House of Lords through the honours process, bringing the total number of peers appointed by him to 135 in less than two years.
The reporting also states that Starmer is preparing a resignation honours list despite previously vowing that he would not create such a list. The claims describe the honours recommendations as an internal party-linked process and frame the move as part of the routine appointment system for membership in the upper chamber.
The sources provided focus on the reported number of peers and the timing relative to Starmer’s departure, but they do not provide further details on the individuals proposed or the formal stage of approvals by other bodies.
