(That's right, Telegraph. You heard me.)

Tony Blair faces the humiliation today of bowing to Tory and Liberal Democrat demands to water down the Government's anti-terror proposals or risk losing the entire Prevention of Terrorism Bill only weeks before an expected general election.

The Government suffered another heavy defeat in the House of Lords last night when peers voted overwhelmingly in favour of a "sunset clause" limiting the life of proposed powers to impose control orders on terrorist suspects.

YES THAT'S RIGHT SPORTS FANS, EVEN THE EVIL CONSERVATIVES REALISE
THIS BILL IS DANGEROUS. THEIR FIRST COMPLAINT RESULTED IN THE NAME OF THE BILL BEING CHANGED FROM THE 'ESTABLISHMENT OF A TOTALITARIAN REGIME ACT, 2005.'
