To be fair, the ammendment that guarantees EU citizens a document proving their status is sensible

Don't know why they'd want to undermine that

Especially given the problems the last time with Windrush

sounds reasonable

I doubt a document will be all that helpful... theyll just say its a fake if they really wanted to deport someone

and Im sure also... a lot of fakes will appear too... NGOs will start handy them out like sweets

@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.

they'll probably start leafleting them across libya 😛

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?"

indeed, and we all know that if they could control that, they'd try to find some way to undermine it

@wacka inb4 Boris just goes "no lol"

@Kaiser (ICFD) excatly. It's always the way they do these things.

@wacka I'm 90% sure that's exactly what they are doing

"lords cause no deal brexit" ... will be the headline that will never appear in any headlines... but will be the truth everyone knows

Tbh I'm all for the House of Lords forcing a no deal Brexit on us.

I would kek for many days

It's what I've been asking for and the House of Lords delivers to be via cutting their nose to spite their face.

imagine being so stubborn and butthurt you force your enemies to take the option you least want because you're acting like a child

Ye lol

> Boris Johnson has ruled out any extension of the transition period beyond the end of the year.
> Dominic Cummings was reported to have told a regular meeting of aides on Friday: “We are not bluffing on the no extension.”

still unsure as to why status of child refugees is part of a fucking eu withdrawal bill

did we have no such laws preceeding eu membership?>

Because the Lords have gotten used to the standards of the last three years

Where you add in any fucking thing you want to a bill

Not convinced that's true

Or rather, not convinced that's the case here

Chances are they are trying to replace EU law

It's grandstanding, it's what's become the norm

And thus trying to backdoor open border bullshit

Then when you remove the nonsense amendment they go "YOU HATE CHILD REFUGEES!"

Yes, we do

Fuck the child refugees

No wait, that's what Pakistani muslims do

Meantimes, BBC has taken to printing "statements of the obvious"

Next up, a government report into how wet rain is
