Absolutely fucking ridiculous. He *literally* contradicts himself from one sentence to the next. GPLB:
"Lord Coaker (Lab) told peers that [it] was āa shocking betrayal of our unwritten constitutionā. But he defended Labourās decision not to vote for the Jones amendment, [because] it would respect the convention that the Lords does not block secondary legislation. (The Lords is a revising chamber; secondary legislation cannot be revised.)

The Government is quietly preparing to amend the definition of #DisruptiveProtest to include anything other than "minor disruption". Ironically, it is left the the unlected House of Lords, in the person of Baroness Jenny Jones, to deflect this. The baroness has tabled a #FatalMotion on 13 June, which hopes to defeat it.
Nothing about this on the major news channels, though.
