David Davis resigns

Resigns because he's disappointed at the outcome of the 42 day terrorist detention. Resigns in order to stand again, forcing a by election.

Ok, the chap's got some integrity, and is standing by his principles, he's lost his position as shadow home sec, and isn't likely to get it back. But it also looks like he's forrcing the by election, with all the costs associated with it ( I don't think labour and the lib dems are even going to field a candidate), just so he can sit on the back benches. I'm not even sure if he's still going to be a member of the conservative party.

Not sure about this one. Then again I don't think anyone else in Westminster is either. Rebel without a point?
