Government wins on glorifying terrorism

10.56.31am GMT Thu 16th Feb 2006

Yesterday the Government vote the vote on if to reinstate the laws banning the glorification of terrorism after the House of Lords amended the legislation. MPs backed the measure 327 to 279 (majority of 38). This was the third 'tough' vote the Government faced this week the others being on ID Cards and smoking - they seem to escaped unscathed.

Also yesterday was Prime Ministers Questions, William Hague stood in fro David Cameron (whose wife had recently given birth). I really rate William Hague as a Parliamentarian and even think he could be the next Conservative Prime Minister. Anyway Hague stole the show (as he so often did as Leader) with his joke - "It's probably the first time in history at question time that all three parties have been represented by a stand-in for the real leader." Classic!
