Default help me diagnose brake problem

its on the fiesta 1.6 si runaround.

it has 3 symptoms:

1. for the last few months everytime you get in it and drive it for the first half mile or so, the rear wheels can lock up under normal braking.

2. over the last few weeks, the handbrake has got looser and looser, and feels sometimes like only one wheel is locking.

3. last night, my missus drove it to the cinema, and on the way there she was moaning about there being very little brakes, i drove it back and now you have full pedal travel and really have to stand hard on them to make them do anything.

what is it likely to be?

cheers
