# Nigel Farage Slams Keir Starmer for Ignoring 'Very Polite Letter'
Reform UK's leader Nigel Farage has expressed his disappointment with Labour leader Keir Starmer after Starmer failed to respond to a letter Farage sent regarding proposed reforms to the House of Lords. Farage, who once viewed Starmer as a "pretty reasonable bloke," indicated that his opinion has shifted, stating he is "not quite so sure" about Starmer's commitment to addressing the issues raised.
In a recent discussion, Farage criticized Starmer for not engaging in what he considered a respectful dialogue on necessary changes to peerages. He emphasized the importance of such discussions in the realm of political accountability and reform.
The context of this exchange highlights the ongoing debate about reforming the House of Lords, a topic that continues to resonate in British politics. Farage, known for his strong views on governmental reform, has reiterated the need for greater transparency and effectiveness within political institutions.
The lack of response from Starmer has raised questions about his willingness to engage with opposition perspectives on significant policy issues. Farage’s remarks serve as a testament to the animosity that often characterizes political interactions in the UK, especially when pivotal changes are at stake.
