Brown and Davis

By Murk | Published: June 30, 2008
Gordon Brown recently wrote to David Davis to say this: Dear David As you know, Prime Ministers are available once a week at Question Time to debate all the issues of the day, and I was disappointed that you chose to step down as a Member of Parliament in advance of Question Time on Wednesday, 11 June [...]
