Oh nooo the Lords have voted for something that’ll be repealed in an instant. I’m sure the headlines will be just as big saying “never mind, the Lords didn’t actually do anything”.
I do love the way the Lords are just begging Johnson to reform them at the height of his power when he can make a second chamber that actually has powers and will favour the Conservatives.

@Kaiser (ICFD) House of lords is basically limp dicked. It has no power to keep things in and the commons can eventually ignore it entirely if it gets annoyed with it.
The amendments are designed to sound reasonable until you realise they back the government into a corner and don't allow it to actually make up a policy in reaction to the needs of the situation.
Boris might want a document in the end but why the fuck should the form or creation of such a document be dictated by a bunch of losers who can't accept the result.
they will just keep adding "amendments" until it comes to february and ... "oh no's, we're still dealing with the bill, ...guess you gotta ask for an extension huh?"
