Steely Lord.


Mr Smith reads the rather ill-tempered deliberations from the House of Lords, culminating in mixed metaphors, involving various Scottish Lords including the former Presiding Officer of the Scottish Parliament, Lord Steel.

"Lord Steel of Aikwood: I am now totally confused. There are some Members who desperately do not want me to speak and others who are desperately urging me to speak. The noble Earl, Lord Ferrers, understated the issue when he said that I had let a cat out of the bag. It would appear that I have let a whole herd of cats out of a whole lot of bags this afternoon ..."

Who said the "other place" wasn't interesting?
