Re: The correct answer is of course octopi – politicalbetting.com
Thoroughly disgusted that the unelected house has been able to filibuster the assisted dying bill that the elected house had passed. I hope next month a supporter of the bill gets drawn high up the private members ballot and reproposes the bill and the elected house passes it again. Then the Parliament Act should be used… -

Re: This is a serious issue – politicalbetting.com
Time to kick out the unelected clergy from the House of Lords. The archbishop of Canterbury will make a rare intervention in the House of Lords to join dozens of peers condemning the government’s flagship asylum bill.
