David Davis has now officially resigned as an MP:
The official announcement on the HM Treasury website:
Three Hundreds Of ChilternThe Chancellor of the Exchequer has today appointed the Right Honourable David Michael Davis to be Steward and Bailiff of the Three Hundreds of Chiltern. The Chancellor has also granted Mr Davis's request to be released from this appointment today.
Having been released from the appointment, means that David Davis can stand for re-election.
The mainstream media seems to be saying that July 10th looks likely to be the election day.
Still no sign of any official Labour party candidate.
Labour also seems to back tracking on promoting proxy candidates like the former editor of The Sun newspaper Kelvin Mackenzie (how was Rupert Murdoch, a US citizen ever going to fund his campaign legally ?) or the rumoured candidacy of John Smeaton the former Glasgow Airport baggage handler who showed bravery when subduing an insane suicide attacker who had set himself on fire last year, but who now seems to be off to the USA.
