Cameron responds to Davis

David Cameron’s ruthlessness was on full display just now in his statement on Davis’ resignation. He has appointed Dominic Grieve as the new shadow Home Secretary. There was no indication that Davis would get his old job back once he wins his by-election—his bluff has been well and truly called. Also, worth noting that Cameron did not commit the Tories to repealing the 42-day detention measure if it passes.
