I read it It doesn't It dodges the question by saying that they've tried to abolish the peerage before and it hasn't worked, which is a pisspoor answer https://mobile.twitter.com/helenlewis/status/1327576558861758467 …

The argument that a gender-neutral peerage would be a step toward abolition is self-defeating The exact same people pushing for the former, the heiresses trying to claim a title, would fight against the latter tooth and nail It's absurd to try to make this case

The funniest thing about this is that from a procedural standpoint, the easiest way to "convert" a peerage to being gender neutral is for the Queen to just dissolve the existing one and re-grant it under new terms ...Why not just stop at the first step
