However, the ill-timed move by the government isn't likely to become law for a long time if I've understood the Commons/Lords ping-pong process.

I suspect the government deliberately deployed this foil in full knowledge of what the Lords would do. A bluff, in other words and a very bad one at that.

I find myself in agreement.

AS an aside, I'm a bit more hopeful about the governance of the country following the recent departures in BoJo's team. It's been a rocky term so far with a lowlight being Cummings' press conference in the No 10 Rose Garden but hopefully BoJo can get a better administration in place for 2021.
