Factually incorrect. The overwhelming vast majority of terror legislation was written up 4 or even 5 parliaments ago. 'PREVENT' (which is what I presume you were referring to) was a labour invention, as was the 06 Terrorism act which sought the 90 day incarceration without charge (amended to 28 days after rejection in the Commons), which was actually opposed by the Conservative party.
