POLITICOFor those unfamiliar with the ways of British parliamentary democracy, this is a useful primer on the upper house in Parliament — the House of Lords. We have former U.K. ambassador to Washington and Epstein chum Peter Mandelson to thank for instigating this educational brief. He does not deserve gratitude for much more, not even for his "cute" email (to Epstein) poetry: “Need a Lord on the board?”

Epstein fallout puts Britain's House of Lords under scrutiny
Britain’s House of Lords is facing scrutiny as an indirect result of the Jeffrey Epstein files. Peter Mandelson quit the Lords over his friendship with Epstein. The episode has emboldened critics who say the unelected house is antiquated, undemocratic and far too slow at punishing bad behavior by its members. Supporters say it plays a vital role by reviewing and amending bills approved by the elected House of Commons. Successive governments have pledged reform but struggled to deliver. The Labour government is in the process of ejecting the final hereditary aristocrats from the chamber and is facing calls to go further and tighten up scrutiny of appointees.
