2 - Lib Dem Lords vs the Article 50 Bill: William Wallace: Our democracy is in danger
My Lords, the speech of the noble Lord, Lord Cashman, makes it quite clear that the country is divided-in some ways more divided now than it was before the referendum-and that this process as it continues could lead to the country and its regions becoming increasingly divided. That gives us a great responsibility in how we contribute to the debate. This House has an entirely legitimate role to play in scrutinising the Government's approach to Brexit, both as the process proceeds and when it comes to the final package. Our role as a revising Chamber is not to throw out Bills at Second Reading but to examine the rationale for the proposals they contain. It is our role as a second Chamber to weigh up the Government's proposals against our understanding of the national interest and to challenge the Government when we consider that their arguments do not make sense.

1 - Lib Dem Lords vs Article 50 Bill: Dick Newby: Government plans ” horrifying mixture of pious aspiration and complacent illusion”
The Lib Dem Lords have made some cracking contributions to the debate on the Article 50 Bill. Ahead of its next Lords stages, we're bringing you all the Lib Dem contributions over the course of this week. That's no mean feat. There were 32 of them and cover more than 30,000 words. You are not expected to read every single one of them as they appear. Nobody's going to be testing you or anything. However, they will be there to refer to in the future at Brexit.

The Tory government has broken the promise in their manifesto, that there would be "no expansion of Heathrow". Anyone living within 10 to 15 miles of the airport will be affected by both noise and air pollution as well as additional pressure on our road network and over stretched infrastructure such as hospitals, GP surgeries and schools.
