ID cards were just batted back to the Commons. This means there's now a strong chance tomorrow will turn into another all-nighter as the Government tries yet again to ram its seedy little plans through Parliament uncontested the Commons tries to assert its will and the Lords stick to their guns.

I think they should permit proxy sitters for all-night sessions. Some of those Lords are pretty old. The proxy people would go up to their appointed Lord, the Lord would whisper his or her general view in their ear. And then the proxy would go into the chamber and pretend to be the Lord.

Please insert this suggestion, with approval, in Hansard when you get a chance.
