Just wondering if my last hope of the House of Lords voting against the tax credits changes has happened yet?

Thank you for the info on how to watch Katharine and LuisSuarez

Earl Howe is a twat, I want to punch him - looks like a lot of the House do too.

Has he not listened to the 3 hrs of debate?

claig · 26/10/2015 18:54

cruikshank, that was quite a forceful riposte, but was it necessary because I can't see Isitmebut on this thread at all unless under a namechange of some sort.

cruikshank · 26/10/2015 18:55

I was talking to Earl Howe. He can hear me, you know.

claig · 26/10/2015 18:56

OK, well that is completely understandable then, I'm surprised you were able to tone your language down to such an admirable extent Wink

See, this is just how sneaky those tory bastards are by putting it in as a stat instrument.

cruikshank · 26/10/2015 19:02

claig, I am the very model of restraint.

cruikshank · 26/10/2015 19:05

Fucks sakes. Is that it?

claig · 26/10/2015 19:10

Vote result expected at 19.15

How can they tell whose voting what? just looks like a big crowd across the floor - maybe that's just the camera angle.

'How can they tell whose voting what? just looks like a big crowd across the floor '

I agree, it looks like a bit of a shambles and they seem to take ages to get to where they are supposed to go. All a bit amateurish.

I don't know what I'm rooting for. There are too many double negatives. Do I want content or discontent?

WhyBeHappyWhenYouCouldBeNormal · 26/10/2015 19:15

Ah ok, I think they were just chatting to see how their friends were voting first.

Does anyone else look at those red leather benches and get all twitchy about the thought of keeping all those deep buttoned holes clean Blush.

WhyBeHappyWhenYouCouldBeNormal · 26/10/2015 19:17

Fuck knows HamaTime. I'm feeling disillusioned again. Why can't they just have big red buttons?

cruikshank · 26/10/2015 19:17

I think, after much head-scratching, that Baroness Manzoor is the good guy, and we want them to be content with her amendment.

Is that right?

Sweeeep · 26/10/2015 19:17

Grin made me laugh cruikshank

WhyBeHappyWhenYouCouldBeNormal · 26/10/2015 19:18

Babywipes, meglett - and tiny conservation grade vacuums. Like dentists use.

PetitPiaf · 26/10/2015 19:19

I think that this amendment is unlikely to pass because it's a fatal amendment. Or they could just be voting on ham or cheese in their sandwiches Confused

HamaTime · 26/10/2015 19:20

I think you are right. We want to be 'content' that they 'decline to approve' the governments plans.

cruikshank · 26/10/2015 19:20

Is that woman with the turquoise suit on taking a selfie or just checking her phone? I'm sure she was on the other side of the house before. Do they just go where they like then?

WhyBeHappyWhenYouCouldBeNormal · 26/10/2015 19:20

oh eh - he's a wizard

KatharineClifton · 26/10/2015 19:21

I wish they'd hurry up, I've got Davina on pause and waiting to go!

HamaTime · 26/10/2015 19:21

Fucking hell

claig · 26/10/2015 19:21

Not content by a huge margin.
What does that mean?
