The full Lords Constitution Committee report on "Rule of law: holding the line between anarchy and tyranny".

Very timely and important report.

If I didn't know better, I'd say I hope the government takes serious notice of its findings and recommendations.

Farage’s spokesman: “These allegations date back 45 years, and ... you’d have to ask yourself why this hasn’t come up before.”
