Terror threat to UK 'is growing' - Jacqui Smith

[Morris Onions]

The home secretary has described the terrorism threat facing the UK as "severe" and "growing".

In an interview for the News of the World, Jacqui Smith said it was imperative for the police to be able to detain suspects for longer.

Ms Smith is facing a Labour rebellion over plans to extend the time suspects can be held without charge to 42 days.

Why are they so hung up on extended detention?

No other western country allows this so why do we need it?

And do they really think anyone believes their scaremongering lies on this any more?
