Those hoping for a straight fight in the Haltemprice and Howden by-election between David Davis and Kelvin McKenzie look set to be disappointed. Another challenger has thrown his hat into the ring, and though he's not campaigning on a pro-42 days ticket, he sends a message that might be equally damaging to Davis.
The new man is political writer Neil Glass (aka David Craig), who believes that MPs spend their time wasting our money and are out of touch with the public. With by-elections costing the taxpayer up to £80,000, it could deal a blow to Davis, whose one man crusade is seen by some as a pricey vanity trip. Glass, on the other hand, has vowed to donate half his salary to charity if he is elected.
The author of Squandered: How Gordon Brown is wasting over one trillion pounds of our money, has also said that actually, the public aren't that bothered about 42 days.
