That David Davis book pre-launch in full

In typical swash-buckling style, Kelvin MacKenzie confirms in the Sun today that he is not standing at the Haltemprice and Howden by-election. Jonathan Calder carries a quote from the Birmingham Post which lists a number of minor candidates who are likely to be stand:

Eamonn Fitzpatrick, Northampton stall holder endorsed by Kelvin MacKenzie.
Miss Great Britain Gemma Garrett
Neil Glass political writer
Hamish Howitt, Blackpool pub landlord and anti-smoking ban campaigner
George Georgiou from the Generalist Party
Mad Cow-girl from The Official Monster Raving Loony Party

I come back to the point I made an hour after Davis announced he was resigining. He should be invoiced by the Speaker for publicity generated by this by-election. It is clearly the first stage of the publicity campaign for the launch of his memoirs.
