MPs reconsider anti-terror bill

They’re still at it!

MPs have resumed debate on the government’s controversial anti-terror bill following a 24-hour stand-off with peers in the House of Lords.

The debate now threatens to stretch into the weekend.

All the pundits I saw or read yesterday were predicting that this stand-off would come to an end this morning. They were very clearly wrong. This is one extended game of table tennis!
