    Liberal leader pledges Lords should check an abuse of power by government with Brexit

    The Lib Dem leader said the party’s 100-strong Lords bloc would work with Labour and pro-EU Tory peers, when Brexit legislative battle reaches the upper chamber.

    Liberal Democrat leader Sir Vince Cable has defended plans to use his party’s strength in the House of Lords to fight Brexit, even though he views the unelected chamber as a “bad system” that he did not want to be a member of. Sir Vince said the Lords had limited political impact, but the upper house should be used to check an “abuse of powers” by the Government.
