    New legislation is probably the easiest way.

    Just looked it up, to remove a peer from the house is possible through the house since 2014, however to remove the title Lord, it requires an act of parliament. Although with labour having a majority control of the Commons and the other parties possibly agreeing with such an act, that’ll likely pass easily.
