RandomPauI posted:My understanding of the House of Lords is that they're like the UK equivalent of the US's Electoral College. Their only real power is to stop popular things from happening in order to protect the interest of people with money and power. Only they do that with legislation instead of the Presidency. Is that about right? Plus or minus when the commons says "Tezza must bring us a unicorn!" And the lords reply "This is why you're not lords, you morons, you absolute loving idiots."

The House of Lords is like the Senate but a bit more low key, and appointed with as much transparency as the Electoral college

Northern Ireland could be left with a milk lake if the EU enforces its regulations about the origin of ingredients in butter and cheese in a no-deal Brexit, it has emerged. A senior EU official has confirmed that if the UK crashes out of the bloc in nine days time controls will have to be in place on “day one” on milk and other animal products coming from Northern Ireland.
