Booking the Crooks
Something to do today, if you fancy joining the terrorism debate, via Tim Ireland:
1. Use this facility to look up and contact your MP:
2. Tell them that 97% of Sun readers do not support Blair’s 90-day detention plan and/or send them this link:

3. Publish steps 1, 2 and 3 on your own weblog (or send/post these details to your usual community/messageboard).
Can’t hurt, can it?
UPDATE: The Sun: ‘Government whips told the jubilant PM the votes to win the day were “in the bag”.’
That’ll be Jack Straw’s and Gordon Brown’s votes then.
UPDATE: I turns out that Gordon Brown was paired with the Lib Dem’s Vince Cable and didn’t need to be there. So why come back unless he’s been told to twist arms?
Charles Clarke has also said at the start of the debate that it will be guillotined. This means not all of the bill will be debated before it proceeds to the House of Lords, notably the issue of the definition of terrorism which is apparently last on the order paper.
