House of Lords voted on the government's tax credit proposals tonight
Labour and Lib Dem peers united to block the controversial measures
Unprecedented for peers to block a finance measure backed by MPs
House of Lords voted 289 to 272 to delay the changes for three years
Proposals are central to George Osborne's plan to eliminate the deficit 

EC what say you?
