My Take

David Davis is the kind of veteran British politician who is impossible to ignore, and for me his defining chapter is serving as Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union from 2016 to 2018, standing at the very center of the storm that split the country. First elected back in 1987, he has held his seat with a stubborn longevity that fits his Capricorn reputation, and a Warwick education marks him as a striver rather than an inheritor. As Shadow Home Secretary he showed real edge. Politicians this driven by conviction always divide opinion, but I have a quiet respect for anyone who keeps stepping into the fight without flinching.

Overview

Sir David Michael Davis (born 23 December 1948) is a British Conservative Party politician serving as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Goole and Pocklington. He was previously the MP for Haltemprice and Howden and, before that, for Boothferry, where he was first elected in 1987. He served as Shadow Home Secretary from 2003 to 2008 and Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union from 2016 to 2018.
