As for "bottling it". I cannot agree with Witton. May sidelined him, refused to listen to his advice, even on the most fundamental issue of negotiating order. What was the point in his remaining as a nominal brexit secretary with no responsibility or authority?
I said we had a Remain PM..... ie Cameron. He bottled it.

Davis wasn't in the leadership contest in 2015. He last stood in 2005 when he came 1st in the first round, but eventually came 2nd to Cameron.

a bit more attention to detail Mr Oracle
