Major defeat: Peers in the Lords vote to keep option of EU customs union after Brexit.

Theresa May has suffered a major Parliamentary defeat over Brexit after the House of Lords voted to keep open the option of staying in the EU Customs Union.

Peers voted by 348 to 225 for a cross-party amendment to the EU (Withdrawal) Bill to require the Government to say how its negotiations with Brussels will continue the crucial tariff-free trade arrangement with the European Union.

The huge size of the majority - 123 votes - underlined the strength of the alliance of Labour, Liberal Democrat, crossbencher and Tory rebel peers and spells trouble for the PM as a raft of other amendments are due in coming weeks.

Brexit minister Lord Callanan warned that even if the amendment was passed, he would not give “false hope” that there would be any concessions as a result.

Hours later, peers inflicted a second defeat on the Government after they approved an amendment which aims to protect people’s rights post-Brexit, by 314 votes to 217, a majority of 97.

Are we now going to be treated to thumbnails of Members who voted for the (or a) customs union plastered all over the tabloids as TRAITORS!!!!!! or have we moved on into common sense territory?

You can't just strike down a central part of our Government, to do so would take decades and more bloody referendums and they are there to call the Commons to account when they are obviously fucking things up.

Short answer is that no-one cares about the HoL unless it upsets Rothermere and Murdock and apart from the potential new European laws concerned with tax evasion costing them a couple of quid I have no idea why.

Politics of envy? Nah, fair play.

Yeah, hurrah for the House of Lords. Sat back and let the unparalleled invasion of privacy that is the snooper's charter pass, but couldn't jump out of their bath chairs quick enough to slobber on the EU's big ol' veiny dick of neo-liberalism. Self-serving establishment cunts :hand:

Still, if it helps to bring about the collapse of the bitch May's government...

Meanwhile Diane Abbott posts fake Syrian bombing photos, then blames trolls.
(FYI the photos were actually Israeli jets over Tehran)
And the Conservatives gain a lead of 5% over Labour in the latest poll.
