Will Hutton said that liberty belonged to both left and right.

Davis himself has an article up at the Spectator arguing that the government's security strategy is the worst of all worlds - "draconian, expensive and ineffective".

Tim Collins, he of the eve of battle speech in Iraq, writes a piece about fighting terrorism without giving up civil liberty.

" Just give us the bloody civil liberties!" Bob Geldof is going to Hull to speak on behalf of Davis.

The BBC are campaigning for Labour - "move along, nothing to see here".
