"Within days of the election of a new government," the silver-haired radical promised, bills would be introduced to impose a wealth tax and to nationalize a broad spectrum of additional industries, from banks to trucking firms. Benn then called for the immediate abolition of the House of Lords. This could be done, he said, simply "by creating 1,000 new peers" who could override the existing members of the House of Lords and vote the chamber...
