   It’s basically custom-built to prevent any Labour government from doing anything too socialist or that is detrimental to the interests of landlords but apparently there’s such tremendous inertia to being an old conservative fuck from the 1990s that they apparently play the role of telling the present lot that they are, even by Tory standards, being cunts.

     I love living in the UK where I regularly find myself saying, without enthusiasm, “yay, the House of Lords has prevented the latest piece of unbridled fascism”

     The HoL is the most structurally small-c-conservative part of the political process, filled with the grandees of previous administrations (plus Boris’s hairdresser), which already gives it a solidly Tory tilt before you consider the age and establishment careers of its membership.

     And it keeps outflanking the government to the left.
