Methinks there is something rather odd about Shadow Home Secretary David Davis's reaction to the 42-day detention-without-charge result in the House of Commons. Did he have some inkling that he was about to be reshuffled? Is this some attempt to wrong-foot Cameron's circle? I suspect this has more to do with internal Conservative Party pre-election power-shuffling than anything related to the issue itself. Yet, still, it is odd. Why would someone in such a senior position, who could have expected to be in government senior cabinet in around 2-3 years' time, scupper his career in such a bizarre manner? After all, the best position to have fought the Bill surely would have been as Shadow Home Secretary, no? If it were an imminent skeletons-in-the-closet thing, one would have thought he would simply have resigned 'to spend more time with his family'. So what on earth is going on? Meanwhile, this stupid and dangerous bill will be passed into law, with a few amendments after having been tossed back a couple of times by the Lords. Does the Security State have something on all senior Labour politicians, that when they get into government, they behave in this manner, as propagandists for La Strategia della Tensione? Or were they all, always sleepers for the corporate War machine?
