Blimey, David Davis has resigned to force a by-election over the issue of the 42-day six week detention limit.

Hey, but at least we are all SO MUCH SAFER now!

Nasty situation for the Labour candidate, because who in their senses is going to want to fight a by-election defending 42 days?

But the Prime Minister keeps telling us how popular it is! Surely a golden opportunity for a bold and principled socialist to defeat a bleeding-heart, soft-on-terror quisling.

The awful truth is that a significant portion of the electorate are to the right of David Davis. I don't think they'd actually go as far as not voting him back in, though.

Has Labour suddenly got shy about attracting votes from right-wing authoritarians? That would be a welcome development.
