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!

Could Labour stop him resigning? Isn't there that stuff about you can only resign if you take a paid Crown post etc, and you need the chancellor of the excheq to rubber stamp it ?

Just think how many lines you'd have to do in a six-week detention, though.

I MUST NOT THINK FREELY. I MUST NOT THINK FREELY. I MUST NOT THINK.

In theory, yes; as you have said, an appointment to the Chiltern Hundreds has to be authorised by the Chancellor.
