No, in voting to stay in a customs union after Brexit the Lords haven’t “inflicted a defeat on the government” — they’ve inflicted a defeat on democracy and the 17.4million people who voted to leave the EU. Unelected Lords defying the public is an archaic outrage #AbolishtheLords

Labour really must improve its research. It's a given that the Conservatives will produce a lie to counter questions to which the correct answer is not to their liking.
A quick google seems to indicate that the National Archives have immigration passenger lists for 1876 to 1960.

I don't have an account, so can't see whether the appropriate lists exist - but if they do, I would have thought they would have enough information to prove when someone arrived in the UK, in the absence of landing cards..

Maybe there ought to be a test before you're allowed to vote - if you don't know what a cabinet secretary is or does, then you're not allowed one...
