How do you know this? Davis was very much someone who believed in Leave. Did he just go to Brussels and become soft? Or was the reality of Brexit too much for him?

While Old Boy isn't advocating this as a course of action, it's definitely out there as an idea we can just walk away from the £39bn and it's somehow tied to the deal. Ignoring that is ignoring reality.
So what do we use as our leverage in these discussions, if not the £39bn?
The discussion is much wider than just what you say - it's a far bigger issue than anything that only you or I raise.
