Britain's senior prosecutor calls it "unnecessary", the man who judged the Iraq war legal says he "can't support it" - now even Labour's favourite policeman has backtracked on his support for the government's plan to detain terror suspects for 42 days without charge. No wonder Jacqui Smith is spitting blood.
It could turn out to be a blessing in disguise for our increasingly beleaguered prime minister. When driving full pelt at a wall, it usually pays to slam on the brakes.

If we are, can't he use George Osborne instead?
Worry less, Gordon is now becoming accustomed to doing handbrake turns!
