Labour backbenchers really don't like Tony Blair, but their usual manner of showing this dislike is to meekly vote how he tells them to before bleating their way home to their sheep pens. A vote is coming up today around 16:30 British time on Blair's proposal to let the police hold people for up to 90 days without charges instead of the current 14 days. Could this be the vote that gets backbenchers to wake up and realize they don't have to vote how the whip tells them to? Probably not, but I'm keeping my eye on it.

C'mon, backbenchers, show some backbone
A republic, not an empire.
