Davis says he wants May to stay as prime minister
Q: Are you saying you don’t expect the policy to change as a result of your resignation?
Davis says, if nothing else, it will put pressure on May not to make further concession.
Q: Can May survive this?
Yes, says Davis.
He says he does not want to see her replaced.
"I like [May]. She is a good prime minister."
Davis says, if May has a Brexit secretary who supports her strategy, that will strengthen her strategy.
He says he will not be encouraging people to challenge May’s leadership.
He says he would not stand against her.
If he had wanted to do that, he would have acted after the election. But he did not. He flew down from Yorkshire in the middle of the night to support her.
Davis says he wants May to stay as prime minister. He rules out standing against her.
