These feckers get paid good wages, fiddle their expenses on a regular basis and can retract outlandish statements.....and still maintain their employment.

Err wouldn't that be the House of Lords that pays no wages whatsoever.

Financial support for members explained

Most members do not receive a salary for their parliamentary duties but are eligible to receive allowances and, within certain limits, the travel expenses they incur in fulfilling their parliamentary duties.

Members who are not paid a salary may claim a flat rate attendance allowance of £150 or £300 for each sitting day they attend the House. This daily allowance replaces the separate overnight subsistence, day subsistence and office costs in the previous system. Entitlement is determined by attendance, not residence criteria.

Members who receive a ministerial or office holders' salary are not entitled to claim the allowances based on attendance.

Clicky...

Yes if he were a minister he would get a salary.  Do we really think deputy leader of a party in the Lords is a ministerial position. 

He's an idiot a buffoon, like so many retired ministers he's way past his adequate before date and seems to have his foot in mouth way too often.  I suspect his party leaders wish he'd died.
