Blink and you may have missed it

If you were in any doubt as to whether the media regards our industry as boring, it should have been dispelled by its response to the debate over the Agency Workers Bill. The only thing that seems to have awakened the lobby from its torpor is the fact that a lot of Labour MPs turned up to vote and sing the Red Flag (yes really).

Yesterday union bosses were called in to Number Ten and Brown apparently suggested a dither, or "official review", as it is known in the trade. The should kick the issue into the long grass for about six months, but it sounds as though the godfathers were not buying the idea.

The general consensus, such as there is seems to be that the government is opposed to the bill and so it would be astonishing if it went through. However the unions and their client MPs look certain to fight the issue too and defy the government. The last thing Brown will want to do is to call in the Tories to defeat his own party.
