Tony Blair was last night resisting calls to return from holiday and recall parliament in the face of renewed pressure from MPs.
The prime minister talked to John Prescott, the deputy prime minister yesterday, about the terror threat, and continued to make calls on the Middle East, from the boat in the Caribbean where he is on holiday.

Officials conceded the prime minister has discussed returning home, but say he is nervous of appearing to issue an effective vote of no-confidence in the handling of the terror threat. He believes home secretary John Reid and Mr Prescott have handled the crisis effectively.
