The Lords are actually more often known for stopping the passing of bills that sail through Parliament and really, really shouldn't have.
Is this a deliberate attempt by the Lords to sabotage the passing of the main bill, by putting in something they know the coalition partners the Lib Dems already voted down? Seeing who tabled it, maybe not, but we need to be alert that the latest fight for our liberties won't just start at the next election.
Better make sure the Lib Dems know. Ugh.

The one who was a close friend of the News of the World at the time all the hacking was going on.
