Edición en Inglés
David Davis is one of the most recognisable politicians in the United Kingdom today. With his broken nose and unremitting self-confidence, he is the Brexit Secretary charged with securing the best possible deal for the country following its exit from the European Union in 2019.
"Old Knuckleduster: A Biography of David Davis" covers the full David Davis story. From his birth in York in 1948 and growing up on a council estate in London, to his years at the University of Warwick where his political views began to crystallize, to his time in business with Tate & Lyle before entering Parliament. It details his political career as he has moved from backbench MP, to defeated Conservative Party leadership candidate in 2005, to his phoenix-like resurrection as Brexit Secretary in the present day. Following the purported political demise of Theresa May, after the 2017 general election, many believe he will become a Conservative Party leadership candidate once again. Whatever the case, the next few years of British politics will see David Davis front and centre.
