The REMAIN House of Lords - Brexit Battle Part 2 - 31st January 2020

Sky News: Reports " Boris Johnson's Brexit deal suffers first defeat in the House of Lords...Peers back an amendment calling for EU citizens lawfully residing in Britain to be allowed physical proof of their status. "

Lets Get Real:

The House of Lords has shown its True Remain colours, it is trying to thwart BREXIT, the Government has to show who has the whip hand, it should overturn the House of Lords in the Commons and make it clear that any more frustration then the Lords will be SENT UP NORTH, and with half pay and no travel expenses.   The UK voter expects to leave the EU on the 31st January, any delay by the House of Lords will be seen as arrogance and the Lords being out of touch.  The PM has to be firm with them.   The Labour Party candidates for the leadership should be forced to say if they support the move by the Lords. 

Government Defeated in House of Lords over Brexit Bill - 31st January 2019

If you have BREXIT PTSD, this will help you feel normal again!!

BBC News: Reports " The government has lost three votes in the Lords over its Brexit legislation - its first defeats since the election. "

Lets Get Real:

It seems the House of Lords has not got the message, the UK VOTED to leave the EU in 2016 and confirmed that in the 2019 General Election.  The House of Commons can overturn the actions of the House of Lords, the Lords should be made aware that the Government will use the Parliament Act to force the Brexit Bill through if needed.  The Parliament Act forces the House of Lords to accept the Government line on laws. It is a good idea to send the House of Lords to the North, will get them out of the Westminster bubble.  Or Remain central as it is called by this blog. 

Doctor Who Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror - Doctor Who Review - No Spoilers

Doctor Who News: Reports " Doctor Who Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror, was watched by 4.04 million viewers in the UK yesterday according to unofficial overnight figures.  "

Lets Get Real:

This was a fast moving episode, the Doctor meet Nikola Tesla,  a great inventor before his time, and also the opposition in the shape of Thomas Edison.   Of course the Tesla name today is known from the non fuel cars.  It was interesting to see how the show dealt with the histories of the two men, Tesla was the businessman who could mass produce inventions while Teslea as the lone genius, Edison stated that the British never understood business, was that a hint at Brexit.   The Alien THREAT was not that great, they stole what they wanted, the Doctor has no difficulty in stopping them.  One can not go into much detail as that would spoil the show.   This episode is worth watching twice for the great script, acting and you pick up some historical nuggets.  

The overnight ratings can be misleading, it is better to check the numbers after those that  have watched it on Iplayer or other devices.
