Withdrawal agreement bill passes House of Lords with amendments - text of those amendments here: publications.parliament.uk/pa/bills/lbill…
In case some folks get this wrong: the Lords amendments to the withdrawal agreement bill do not 'block Brexit'. The Lords have only amended the bill, not voted it down; and voting down the bill would not stop Brexit anyway.
The Lords is not merely advisory - the bill has to pass both Houses of parliament in the same form. Commons would have to wait a year to overrule Lords. But since blocking the bill to try to get its way on amendments would lead to a no deal Brexit, the Lords may back down.

1/ Seems to be confusion about what happens after January 31 between the UK and EU. But the UK press is focusing on other issues.

So here's a thread about the transition period, partly in the style of the UK press to keep your attention.

Look at this ROYAL about to FIGHT ⬇️
2/ Many people saying that they "lose EU rights" after January 31. But if the withdrawal agreement is ratified, EU law continues to apply between the EU and UK for the rest of 2020 - including free movement, EHIC etc

Here's a LONDON LANDMARK needing REPAIRS ⬇️
3/ The transition period can be extended for one or two years, but the UK government opposes that so it's probably unlikely. The deadline to decide on extension is 30 June, unless the withdrawal agreement is amended.

Here's an ANGRY DUDE about to have a TANTRUM ⬇️
