FORMER Bristol West MP Thangam Debbonaire and the ex-city mayor Marvin Rees have been invited by Keir Starmer to join the House of Lords.
Ms Debbonaire represented the constituency from 2010 to 2024, when she lost the seat to the Greens’ Carla Denyer, and served as Shadow Culture Secretary.
Mr Rees was the directly-elected Labour mayor between 2016 and 2024, when the role was abolished.
