What is the House of Lords?
The House of Lords is the second chamber of the UK Parliament, scrutinising bills and holding the government to account. Unlike MPs, its members aren't elected; they're mostly appointed or hereditary peers. Farage's comments suggest he sees its role as a potential hurdle to his party's agenda, implying a desire to reduce its power if it obstructs Reform UK's plans.
