If you want to quantify the power of David Davis’ campaign for civil liberties, then there’s always this news story in today’s Standard. Apparently, two other MPs offered to step down – and force by-elections – in sympathy with the former shadow home secretary. They were only prevented from doing so when Davis told them “there should only be one sacrifice”.
What gives the story added spice is the claim that one of the MPs belongs to Labour (the other’s said to be a Tory). Do CoffeeHousers have any ideas about who the rebel might be?
