Shadow Home Secretary, David Davis, resigns as an MP and will fight a by-election on an act of principle. I may dislike him being a Conservative, but on the issue of the erosion of the UK’s democratic freedoms, I agree with him 100 per cent. Will many Labour MPs follow his principled lead and do the same?
Secret terror files left on train. A civil servant was suspended after he accidently left terror documents on a train. This story came out on the day of the vote, but this left the government once again very embarrassed. If they can lose vital information on tax and benefits, how can they be trusted with holding documents on the terror threat?
No deals on 42 days, says Brown. Embattled Prime Minister Gordon Brown denies claims in the press that he made backroom deals with wavering MPs over the terror vote…. yeah, right. As Private Eye editor Ian Hislop once said: “If Britain is a democracy, then I’m a banana!”
It seems that Labour MPs had voted to curtail our freedoms even further in order to save their political skins. We shouldn’t be surprised as most of them had either no backbone or been very unprincipled. They backed Gordon Brown without a contest…. now they must prepare to face the ultimate public backlash….
