The British government is monitoring the trial of Kashmiri separatist leader #YasinMalik very closely, #UK Foreign Office minister Tariq Ahmad told the House of Lords on Tuesday.
It is my duty to report the Lords / Michael Gove exchange has been upgraded from “tiff” to “ding dong”
So, at a glance, the UK is introducing legislation to replace the Protocol with a "new, revised Protocol". This approach can be traced all the way back to @DavidGHFrost 's hardline BIA, Lisbon and Lords speeches last Sept/Oct

The Speaker is right: Parliament requires radical reform. We need: 🗳 PR for the Commons 🗳Abolition of the unelected Lords replaced by a Senate of the Nations and Regions 🗳Major devolution of power to the English regions
No.10 broke precedent and snubbed Britain’s first black archbishop for a peerage because it says the House of Lords is too large, but it made room for Ian Botham, Claire Fox and Theresa May’s husband. Blatant institutional prejudice #BlackLivesMatter
And in the spirit of transparency here is a text to me from @Keir_Starmer : ‘Congratulations on your elevation to the House of Lords. All best wishes, Keir.’
Tory MPs just voted *again* to ban protests which are "too noisy" - a direct assault on our democracy & precious #RightToProtest . Just hope it gets reinstated in the Lords (who ironically seem to be doing a much better job at defending civil liberties than Commons) #PolicingBill
Last night Conservative MPs voted against a Lords amendment to the Environment Bill that would have made it illegal for water companies to dump raw sewage into our rivers. They disdain us, they disdain this country, all they care about is profit for their pals.
#HandsOffOurNHS On Monday, the Tories voted against protecting our NHS from trade deals. They betrayed us. They betrayed our NHS. This petition calls on the House of Lords to amend the Trade Bill ?
...travesty that is taking place in allowing millions of people to easily meander through their country and INVADE the U.S., not to mention the Drugs & Human Trafficking pouring in through Mexico. Are the Drug Lords, Cartels & Coyotes really running Mexico? We will soon find out!
