The @UKHouseofLords votes overwhelmingly against Government plans which threaten the independence of the Electoral Commission. Amendment to delete them from #ElectionsBill carried by 265 to 199. @BestForBritain @UnlockDemocracy @electoralreform @LibDem4ER
Well done to the 10 Conservative Peers who rebelled to help stop the Government taking control of the @ElectoralCommUK, including some prominent figures - see list: votes.parliament.uk/Votes/Lords/Di… @UnlockDemocracy @BestForBritain @electoralreform @LibDem4ER @guardian @MirrorPolitics
Sadly amendment to ban donations from overseas lost 220 to 194. #ElectionsBill @UKHouseofLords
Sadly we lost the vote to ban donations from “non-doms”. I accused Boris Johnson’s Government of seeking to raise £millions for their party from people avoiding £millions in tax. Vote lost 209 to 169. Conservatives have been desperately whipping in @UKHouseofLords today.
Strong vote by 69 @LibDemLords votes.parliament.uk/Votes/Lords/Di…
My speech arguing that ‘non-doms’- people who live abroad for more than 75% of the year to avoid paying taxes to HMRC - should not be able to spend the £millions that they save in tax making donations to a political party which preserves their tax status theyworkforyou.com/lords/?id=2022…
