"Mr President, I really do have to admit I would love to be a fly on the wall in this Friday’s EU Budget talks in Brussels. I would like to see the discomfort of Mr Cameron as he walks into the room, the tension in his neck at the thought that he has to confront Mr Hollande and his colleagues throughout Europe. He has put referenda back on the agenda and he is going to have to sit down and fight for the British interest. He says he wants a renegotiation, but President Schulz has already told this Parliament that renegotiation is not possible. Mr Verhofstadt told the BBC renegotiation is not possible, so who is going to give? Are they going to be shown to be fools, or is Mr Cameron going to be shown to be a fool? I think Mr Cameron is trying to pull a Houdini act here. He is trying to appease the Eurosceptic majority in the UK, while trying to appease the European Union. This Houdini act is bound to fail and he will be shown to be more like Tommy Cooper.
My constituents tell me they do not want GBP 53 million spent in the EU. That money is better spent at home."@en1
