The fucking Tories.

We didn't get it our way, so we're going to change it.
It certainly feel like that. I don't understand the constitutional bullshit at all to say if the Lords were allowed to do what they did or not. From the little I've read it seems more like a tradition rather than a law that they aren't allowed to disagree with the government on tax or financial matters. All they've basically done is say "Are you really really sure you want to do this? Go think about it some more".
Sure the Lords are mostly a bunch of unelected out-of-date posh twats scrounging off the public to have a nap in nice surroundings, but they seem to wake up occasionally and give the politicians a right good kick up the butt when they need it. It's a weird system but it seems to work for us.
