Labour peer

A Labour peer is a member of the UK's House of Lords who is affiliated with the Labour Party. Unlike Members of Parliament (MPs) elected to the House of Commons, peers are appointed or inherit their position to serve as legislators and provide expertise and oversight. Labour peers contribute to reviewing and amending proposed laws, engaging in debates, and offering experience drawn from various fields. They help shape legislation to serve the public interest, operating as part of the UK's unelected second chamber of Parliament.
