BREAKING NEWS: Zac Goldmith elevated to the House of Lords and will remain as Cabinet

Agree, and I voted Brexit. However, those who have lost their seats must leave government IMO, and Zac should not get anywhere near the Lords.

Same for Morgan but isn't the writing between the lines that this is temporary until Brexit, to avoid getting bogged down in a re-shuffle?

A Life Peerage is for... er, life, not just for Brexit. Or something like that.
