"The Lords differs" (line 9) shows an unusual subject-verb agreement because
- Ait is probably the result of a slip by a journalist under pressure.
- Bthe plural is used as a sign of respect for peers, like the royal "we".
- C"differs" is an irregular verb in the third person singular of the present simple.
- D"the Lords" is treated as a singular noun and refers to the House of Lords.
- Ethe true subject is "parliament" in line 9 and is therefore singular.
