Well, Caroline Flint revealed today, on The Daily Politics, what she thinks is the reason behind Davis's resignation. Davis wanted the Tories to say that if the 42 day law came into effect, the Tories would change it back to 28 days if they win the next election. Cameron didn't want to go that far and an argument ensued, resulting in Davis throwing his toys out of the pram. Bearing in mind that Caroline Flint is a minister, I doubt she would have said this if it wasn't close to the truth. Nobody on the program questioned her opinion, not even the Tory. Very telling.
