Gordon Brown looks worse every week. His attempt to extend the so-called anti-terror laws has received a very cool reception by MPs. How much longer can Brown survive before he is shoved out of office?
Gordon Brown's hopes of securing a parliamentary majority for his plans to extend the time terrorist suspects can be detained without charge have been dealt a severe blow by a survey of Commons opinion showing only a third of MPs back tougher laws.
The survey also reveals the appetite for further anti-terror legislation among Brown's own MPs is faltering, with 48% of Labour MPs agreeing there has been too much anti-terror legislation.
