David Davis is a politician who made it from the ground up to the senior reaches of the Conservative Party. He is sworn of the Privy Council, which means accepting an obligation of loyalty to Queen and Country. He also served in 21 SAS (Artists) Regiment for money, circa 18/9d per day back then. It also implies an honest patriotism. Not many men in Parliament ever served or had the slightest intention.
The fact that he does not seem to have run for prime minister during the kerfuffle of 2022 suggests that too many nominal Tories didn't want him in Downing Street. The further fact that he was dismissed by Theresa May when he was running Brexit negotiations is very much to his credit - not hers.
David Davis Denounces Immigration Abuses [ 1 November 2022 ]
QUOTE
We in Britain are a generous people. For centuries, we have led the world in giving asylum to those fleeing torture and death at the hands of totalitarian regimes. [ Rumour or truth? Pass - Editor ]I have often been at the forefront of defending our role as a safe haven for those in desperate need. But the British do not like being taken for a ride. Last week, we learned that, of the 12,000 Albanians who have illegally crossed the Channel into Britain so far this year — accounting for nearly one third of all crossings — some 10,000 were single, adult men..............
Of course, human trafficking is an appalling crime. But tackling this hideous trade is possible only with a robust asylum system to help stop the flow of false claimants.........
The Home Office needs to put sufficient resources into dealing with those arriving on our shores. We should then tell people in Albania that — since they come from a safe country — they will not be considered serious asylum seekers and will be sent back upon arrival.
We should in due course undertake this practice with citizens of all safe countries. It may be that we will be challenged in court on the grounds of ‘discrimination’. If so, we should bring forward a one-page piece of legislation to make it legal................ The time has come to end this scandal.

David Davis wants the Tories to get a grip of Illegal Immigration. They do not. Are they rogues or fools, Bribed or Blackmailed? Perhaps that is why he did not run for prime minister; why we are saddled with Sunak. NB The Mail is censoring comments because it is hostile, another Propaganda machine. Only one made it through & was heartily approved by the peasant masses.
David Davis ex Wiki
QUOTE
David Michael Davis (born 23 December 1948) is a British politician who served as Shadow Home Secretary from 2003 to 2008 and Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union from 2016 to 2018. A member of the Conservative Party, he has served as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Haltemprice and Howden, formerly Boothferry, since 1987. Davis was sworn of the Privy Council in the 1997 New Year Honours, having previously been Minister of State for Europe from 1994 to 1997.He was brought up on the Aboyne Estate, a council estate in Tooting, South West London. After attending Bec Grammar School in Tooting he gained an MBA at the age of 25 and went into a career with Tate & Lyle. Having entered Parliament in 1987 at the age of 38 he was appointed Europe Minister by Prime Minister John Major in July 1994. He held that position until the 1997 general election. He was subsequently Chairman of the Conservative Party and Shadow Secretary of State for the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister under Iain Duncan Smith.
Between 2003 and 2008 he was the Shadow Home Secretary in the Shadow Cabinets of both Michael Howard and David Cameron. Davis had previously been a candidate for the leadership of the Conservative Party in 2001 and 2005, coming fourth and second respectively. On 12 June 2008 Davis unexpectedly announced his intention to resign as an MP and was immediately replaced as Shadow Home Secretary; this was in order to force a by-election in his seat, for which he intended to seek reelection by mounting a specific campaign designed to provoke wider public debate about the erosion of civil liberties in the United Kingdom. Following his formal resignation as an MP he became the Conservative candidate in the resulting by-election, which he won a month later.
In July 2016, following a referendum in which a majority of over 1 million of those voting, supported leaving the European Union, Davis was appointed by the new Prime Minister, Theresa May, to the new Department for Exiting the European Union (DExEU) as Secretary of State, with responsibility for negotiating the UK's prospective exit from the EU. He was sidelined mid-way through the talks, with the Prime Minister's Europe Adviser Olly Robbins taking charge of negotiations. Davis resigned from his government position on 8 July 2018 over May's Brexit strategy and the Chequers plan. Following his resignation, the DExEU junior minister Steve Baker and the Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson also resigned.
Early life
Born to a single mother, Betty Brown, in York[1] on 23 December 1948, Davis was initially raised by his grandparents there. His maternal grandfather, Walter Harrison, was the son of a wealthy trawlerman but was disinherited after joining the Communist Party; he led a 'hunger march' to London shortly after the more famous Jarrow March, which did not allow Communists to participate.[2] His father, whom he met once after his mother's death, is Welsh.[1] After his mother married Ronald Davis the family moved to London, where they lived initially in a flat in Wandsworth, which Davis has described as "a terrible little slum". Later, after his half-sister was born, the family moved to a council estate in Tooting, his stepfather being a shop steward at Battersea Power Station.[3]When he left Bec Grammar School in Tooting, his A Level results were not good enough to secure a university place so Davis worked as an insurance clerk and became an infantry soldier in the Territorial Army's 21 SAS (Artists) Regiment in order to earn the money to retake his examinations. After doing so he won a place at the University of Warwick (BSc Joint Hons Molecular Science/Computer Science 1968–1971). While at Warwick he was one of the founding members of the student radio station, University Radio Warwick. He went straight from there to London Business School, where he earned a master's degree in business (1971–1973), and later attended Harvard Business School's Advanced Management Program (1984–85).
Davis worked for Tate & Lyle for 17 years, rising to become a senior executive, including restructuring its troubled Canadian subsidiary, Redpath Sugar.[4] He wrote about his business experiences in the 1988 book How to Turn Round a Company.

Whitehall Did A Really C**p Job Of Negotiating Brexit Says David Davis [ 4 February 2023]
QUOTE
Whitehall did a “c–p job” negotiating Brexit as it was biased towards the EU, says David Davis.The former Brexit secretary said the Civil Service “sympathised with the European view” as Theresa May’s government found itself in a stalemate over the terms of leaving Brussels.
Mr Davis, who resigned from Mrs May’s Cabinet in July 2018 as he did not “believe” in her Chequers plan for leaving the EU, said bureaucrats should take some of the blame for the deadlock.
"Whitehall did a really c–p job of negotiation – I mean, really c–p,” said Mr Davis in an interview with the Institute for Government. “I think it’s partly because they sympathised with the European view and assumed that was reciprocated. It wasn’t.
“You know, if you feel the person on the other side of the table is a nice person, and you really understand their point of view, there is a tendency to think that they’ll be friendly to you - which is naïve on a grand scale.” While he said Brexit would eventually “deliver”, he voiced frustration with the more recent logjam over the Northern Ireland Protocol.

David Davis is perhaps the best man in Parliament; this is not, in it self saying much but he made it from the ground up in a real job. If he says that Civil Servants were siding with the enemy I believe him. Theresa May was also an enemy of Brexit and Democracy.
