    Good to see that the Bill is now firmly headed for defeat.

    It is reported that in no10 they are now, sensibly, planning for the aftermath of the defeat rather than fight to the end for this.

    I note that no-one above has mentioned that the Bill provides for 15 year terms for Lords elected by PR which will give Party machines unprecedented power to pick time-serving failed politicians for their lists. There are too many time servers now while what we need are more cross-bench experts who are at the top of their own professions to conduct the business of the Upper House, specifically to review and amend legislation.
