According to the Beeb, Nick Clegg is now 'non-commital' about the Communications Data Bill and is likely to use a Parliamentary report into it as a reason to withdraw support. The joint MP/Peers committee apparently states, 'The Home Office has failed to make the case for the new laws' among other criticisms.
If so this is good news - but why has it taken so long for Clegg to make the right decision? Is there no-one around him with the right liberal instincts and political antennae to have seen this many months ago?
