Sens. Reid and Schumer Blocking Senate Tribute to Thatcher

In deference to Lady Thatcher's immense popularity across the Pond, the US House of Representatives paid tribute to her. But the US Senate has been oddly reluctant to follow suit. Sources in Washington tell Mr Steerpike that a Republican resolution is 'on hold' because Democrat majority leader Harry Reid, with the help of a Senator Schumer, is blocking the move.
