Blair Defeated Over Terror Laws

And not a small defeat either: 322 to 291 votes.

Is this the beginning of the end of Blair?

Particularly amusing is that Brown will be absolutely livid. "For this you dragged me back from Israel? 'Oh, Gordon you absolutely must come back, it'll be such a close thing, every vote counts'?".

Indeed... He was ostensibly brought back to persuade people to back the plan. One wonders how hard he tried at that...

What are the rules for electing a labour leader? Is a stalking horse being groomed at No. 11 at this very moment?

One can only hope. I'm not sure he's going to take defeat very well.

In his speach the other day he was sounding very like another former "dear leader" who lost the plot.

It seems to come to them all... And the more I read about No. 10 in the last few years (see eg. the extract from the retired US ambassador's memoirs in today's Guardian) the more it seems like the heady days of late-Thatcher when they were completely divorced from reality.
