The deplorable proposal to hold people for six weeks without so much as charging them with anything probably won't get through, but then it isn't really supposed to. The point of it is to make the Tories vote against it, so that they can be presented all over the Sun and the Daily Mail as "soft on terrorism".
There won't now be a General Election until June 2010, so expect a very great deal more of this sort of thing. David Cameron is no longer up against Tony Blair, like him barely a politician at all but with a sense of class duty to govern the lower orders. He is up against a political fighter of the other old school. He'll never last, and David Davis or whoever will be facing a real fight when the Election comes.
