(Oh god, I nearly started this post with "Well...")

Flushed by last weeks' success, the Tories are trying to notch up another Government defeat with their loophole commons vote on the extended pub licensing hours due to come into force next week.

Anyone who wants to watch Blair squirm almost as much as last week should tune into the Parliament channel or a news channel around 7pm local.

Thing is, hardly anyone has took up the new legislation - which allows pubs to open all day. Publicans mostly feel that it's unnecessary and punters just can't be bothered, so the chances are that the bill should fail.

Now, to lose one vote is unfortunate, to lose two is...well, let's say the fallout could be...interesting.
