Wi The July 7th London Plot Was Foiled?

Hi all,
There are many threads on 9 11 being averted, but I don't think this has been discussed before.

So in OTL, the July 7th Bombers succeeded in killing 52 people and injuring many more. But what if they hadn't and the plot was discovered before it could go ahead?

What are the short and long-term affects of this?
 
Short term this would probably butterfly away the failed attack a fortnight later and by extension the shooting of John Charles de Menezes.
 
This will probably mean that Blare and co don't try to push the 90 day detention bill through the commons, wonder how that would affect his remaining time in office? Without that, is it at all possible he hang on past 2007?

If he tries to last the full term (so to roughly the OTL election in 2010), then the issues with Brown might become rather more public and nasty.

Although whether that's even an issue given the PoD I don't know.
 
It was hard to avoid the issues between Blair and Brown anyhow, but yeah Blair clinging on would make things worse in that respect and may lead to a heavier labour defeat in 2010. I'm just thinking Blair's political survival could be a potential butterfly of this.

What happens in regard to security in this TL?

The positive boost of winning the 2012 Olympics the previous day might last a bit longer and be exploited more by Blair and the government.
