Lords Not Trying To Stop Bretix

Oh that's all right then.

They just want to make sure EU citizens in the U.K. Are allowed to stay.

If that is the only amendment they are going to go for then good for them. However I think they have about 50 to wheel in.

In any case why are they not prepared to accept that TM has said their status won't change but any right to stay will be reciprocal from other EU countries. What is wrong with that? I am honestly at a loss to see what is wrong with expecting like for like treatment.

What does the House of Lords do?

The House of Lords is the second chamber of the UK Parliament. It works with the House of Commons to:

make laws
check and challenge the actions of the government, and
provide a forum of independent expertise
The House of Lords Chamber spends about 60% of its time on legislation; the other 40% is spent on scrutiny – questioning Government and debating issues and policy. Committee work takes place outside the Chamber.

That's what they are supposed to do but when they sign in for two minutes a day for their allowances then *** off, what do they actually do?

Two minutes a day is not much time to do any scrutinising and law making. If they can do all that in two minutes then they are being over paid.

An anomaly of time. Too many of them do a bit now and then.

An elected body would be much more democratic.
