So there we have it folks, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) Universal Credit Bill passed through the House of Lords unceremoniously on 22 July.
Whilst there was little to do to stop it, since Liz Kendall cruelly made it a money bill in order to rush it through, the Lords did have the option to vote for a regret amendment, which means it would pass through with them expressing their dismay and disapproval. But apparently the House of Lords has zero regrets about plunging hundreds of thousands of people into even deeper poverty, because just 17 voted for the amendment.
