Downing Street is doing its best to spin national parliament’s right to use a ‘red card’ against EU laws – apparently won as part of the PM’s renegotiation with Donald Tusk – as a victory. But others are less impressed. David Cameron’s old friend Boris Johnson has been on LBC this morning talking about the EU renegotiation package. The London mayor, no stranger to being a thorn in the PM’s side, tried hard to appear convincing in backing Cameron.
He said:
‘David Cameron has done a very good job at huge speed of getting a difficult package of measures.’
But Boris went on to say that what was on the table so far was not enough – and that more needed to be done.
Speaking to LBC’s Nick Ferrari, he added:
‘Everybody would want to see more progress, let’s see where we get. So far he (the PM) has been doing a very, very good job of getting people to see things his own way but I think there is much, much more that needs to be done.
