Johnson’s Conservatives won a large majority in the lower chamber, the House of commons, at the Dec. 12 vote and lawmakers there quickly approved the legislation needed to ratify his exit deal with Brussels earlier this month. Members of the Lords voted by 270 to 229 in favor of a change put forward by the pro-EU Liberal Democrats which would give eligible EU citizens in Britain an automatic right to stay after Brexit, rather than having to apply to the government to do so.

Last week, European Parliament Brexit coordinator Guy Verhofstadt said Britain had told him it was looking into the possibility of providing a physical document to EU citizens but Johnson’s spokesman said he was not aware of any plans.

Drain the swamp..

Loony Lib Lords get up to York toute suite

hope that Boris will transfer house of lords to falkland islands

Better to move the lords to the moon,same place boris brain is wired to ,unbelievable

The Commons can reject any amendments from the Lords.

British people are freakin nuts.

GenXMedia If there was a case to abolish the House of Lords ......

I think the ability to manage cookies might be broken (sorry for the dark screen)

Irrelavant unelected peers ,will be kicked down road.😂

Another disingenuous headline from . The House of Lords has little say beyond the power of annoyance.

I wonder why the Tories want the Lords to move to York?

Still hoping to get that completely flawless international trade agreement done by Christmas Boris? Bon chance.

He's intelligent 🙏🙌

They are unelected and expected by Labour and Lib mJority in the Lords . It will come back to the Commons and pass by the massive mandate given by the electorate not the Uneldcted Lords

Change is never easy no matter what direction
