The DUP (Democratic Unionist Party) saved Gordon Brown's skin today by backing the 42 day terror detention vote, which the government only won by 315 votes to 306. Had the DUP had any integrity and voted against the government would have lost by 9 votes. There were 37 Labour rebels.
I wonder why they did that? Do they seriously think Gordon Brown will be PM after the next General Election?
The BBC has this.
Update, Iain Dale has this, and is not that complimentary about the DUP.
