'What about Harrods? What about Wimbledon? Ascot? Henley? The Army and Navy Club? I mean civilisation, generally!'

I like the idea of putting them on an itinerant cruise ship though. 'Your LordShip'? 'HMS Lordy McLordFace'?
What is the point? Unless they’re going to sell off the whole place, it’s just going to mean spending millions on a new place, while continuing to spend millions on the upkeep to the old place, plus whatever extra expenses they claim for.
greyscull47 Here’s an idea - ship BrexitJohnson and all his cronies to York (sorry York!) instead, while the work is done on HofP. He wouldn’t be happy out of his London bubble.
Another unnecessary expense I would have thought as things like the NHS creak on.
If they don’t like relocation, they they can always resign — like I did when my empoyer relocated 10 miles
Suggestions as to where they should be shipped instead? answersonapostcard

Boris Johnson's decision to scrap protections for child refugees could face defeat in LordsLord Dubs says Tory peers – including ministers – are unhappy over removal of policy from Brexit bill No it won’t. As he hasn’t scrapped protection for child refugees, he’s just removed it from a bill it didn’t need to be in. Here’s an idea, let’s put it in the immigration act where it makes sense not the Withdrawal agreement bill!
