[[File:Labour1910.jpg|thumb|290px|Labour poster attacking the House of Lords in 1920]]
Since the reform of 1998, the Labour Government has taken steps to effect further reform to the House of Lords. It is not clear whether these steps will result in legislation in the near future.
Labour called for abolition of the House of Lords in 1910; when elected, they kept it and appointed their own favourites to peerages. Later posters dropped the violent imagery and called for peaceful change. Since the reform of 1998, the Labour Government has taken steps to effect further reform to the House of Lords, reducing the role of heredatary peers.
