How can you tell if David Davis is right? Easy! As Mr Eugenides says, just look at these reactions::
JACQUI SMITH, HOME SECRETARY
Faced with a crucial decision on the safety and protection of the British public, the Conservatives have collapsed into total disarray on what is their first big policy test since they have come under greater scrutiny. David Cameron must come clean on what has really happened and why David Davis has really resigned.
DAVID BLUNKETT, FORMER HOME SECRETARY
David Davis’s behaviour is a pure piece of political theatre, even more bizarre than John Major resigning as leader of the Tory Party in order to stand again against his own colleagues. This is childish and immature and it is not worthy of a major political party to engage in such theatre.
HAZEL BLEARS, COMMUNITIES SECRETARY
The Tories are plainly in disarray and confusion over the serious issue of national security. Behind Cameron’s facade are the same old Tories fighting like ferrets in a sack.
