The good old Daily Telegraph - but I guess following recent threads we shouldn't trust anything they say.

Does it give the house band the people are in, who've voted in their poll?

No but it does say they were on a really low income.

I'm sure they are more concerned over the number of servicemen who are currently being killed in Afghanistan and Iraq by terrorists.
Why not let the High Court Judges decide if an extension of time is justified, in consultation with senior police officers, instead of the Government, who seem to be making a town halls of all they issues in their stewardship?

Can't understand the point really, having seen the newscast, he hasn't fallen out with Cameron, he's not a odds with the party, seems daft, but I'll have to PM young Andrew to tell him o get his election skates on again David nees you Andrew

He is raising awareness about our loss of civil liberties in general.
He appears a man of principle - rare in politics today - I admire him - good leadership potential.

Since I first heard about it when I loged on about 4-15pm I have given it some thought, and in fact I've come to exactly he same conclusion as you Margaret, at least he is standing by his principles and not selling them down the river like the whole of the Labour Party did in 1994

I thought this would be appearing here.

First I think its important people listen to David Davis' speech. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7450627.stm At a time when all eyes will be on Haltemprice and Howden, I think it is deeply important that he raises the issues of the state prying into peoples lives. I personally believe the speech is very good. It really questions the direction this country is going.

As people have already said, it is good to see such a principled politician. Someone willing to put his job on the line for something he deeply believes in.

As he is a former member of the SAS I don't think there is any doubt David Davis knows how to be tough on terror, not only this, smart, on terror. He is greatly respected among all sides of the House for his knowledge on security.

Have no fear Jaysay, I will be doing my bit in Haltemprice and Howden, for I believe passionately in what David is doing.

If I were fit enough I'd be coming with ya Andrew

I would have loved to see Brown's face when that news broke.

Royboy39 · 12-06-2008, 17:10

It has just been announced that Labour will not field a candidate against David Davies.

Gayle · 12-06-2008, 17:20

Oh, it just gets better and better.

I think i'ts a case of running scared by the Labour Party....So much for democracy......

Gayle · 12-06-2008, 17:25

It just stops the debate dead! I think it's hilarious - there was David Davies all prepared to get on his high horse and Labour cancelled the race!

I think that David Davies has won the day anyway....and has shown Labour up to be what they are.........a bunch of loosers.
