Davis interview:

1/

Notes May only won Chequers debate by "1 or 2", which I take as a bit of stirring

2/

Talks much more about politics of process than about substance

3/

Invited to encourage others to reaign, but quite reserved on that, despite talk of principle. Marks himself as being in different position from others

4/

Still articulating a view of acquis that doesn't fit reality very well, but that's neither here or there. More an OPPO to riff on 'taking back control'

5/

Concession that May is "primary negotiator", with "more conciliatory " approach

6/

Main gripe appears to be that door is now open to more concessions (fair enough), so resigning to try and stiffed resolve

7/

Still doesn't understand timeline dynamics and how they differ from usual process

8/

It's all very curious: many invites to stick the knife in, but passing up the opportunity.

9/
