Baroness Jones, "I'm deeply offended its been brought to us.. It's a mess of a bill.. It's illegal and nonsensical.. We are being asked to indulge in pointless chatter because whatever we say the government will not listen to us" @GreenJennyJones "And this is partly fuelled by the Labour front bench that seems to be rewriting the Salisbury convention - that we do not try to stop anything in the government's manifesto" "In fact the Labour front benches say the Lords must not interfere with any legislation or decision by the government or the commons because they are elected and we are not. Then what is the point of the House of Lords?" "We have centuries of experience and knowledge and we did have the opportunity to stop this foolish bill and the Labour front bench decided that we would not.. I think that's an abdication of their responsibility" "And it grieves me that they might actually win the election and then behave in the same way as the Conservative party"
