20 Questions With Sir David Davis MP


Listen Later

David Davis has led a remarkable career in politics. A Conservative MP for more than a quarter of a century, he was Brexit Secretary under Theresa May before resigning in 2018. Before that he resigned as Shadow Home Secretary and resigned his seat in order to fight a by-election in 2008 to draw attention to his concerns about the erosion of civil liberties under the New Labour government. He ran to become leader of the Tory Party twice, coming fourth in 2001, and second to future Prime Minister David Cameron in 2005. Here he reflects on being brought up in poverty, being a Communist as a boy, joining the Territorial SAS, his defence of our freedoms, the moral case for the death penalty, his problem with drone strikes, why he's pleased he voted for Brexit, why he went into politics, how he spends his free time, what he thinks about Boris Johnson, and why Margaret Thatcher was the most impressive political figure he has met.
