Lords protect us over Brexit talks

The Tories have decided to pack the Lords with another 10 Tory peers in a desperate bid to stop losing votes there.

They’ve only got themselves to blame. In the coalition, they filled it with Lib Dems to push their austerity agenda. Now the Lib Dems are stopping them.

I know many people don’t like the idea of an unelected upper chamber. But since the general election, we’ve knocked back bad Tory policies 29 times – 15 of them on the EU Withdrawal Bill.

Our last victories were protecting our environment after Brexit and giving parliament the power to stop any deal that might restore a hard border with Ireland.

We’re here to stop policies being passed that will harm our country and its people.
