News comes today that Home Secretary Jacqui Smith is upscaling measures to prevent those with extreme views entering the UK.

Fraser Nelson’s Spectator blog is one I rarely miss. For all the wrong reasons.

MPs vote no to expenses reform
Yvette Cooper and her ridiculously named husband Ed Balls must be jumping for joy this evening, for MPs have voted to keep their current expenses system in place. Why don’t we let criminals vote on whether or not burglary should have a prison sentence next time?
