David Cameron’s EU renegotiation headache as pressure mounts to get a deal

David Cameron gave all the appearances of being in a bullish mood as he said negotiations so far over Britain’s relationship with the EU were ‘not good enough’.

Speaking after meeting Jean-Claude Juncker in Brussels today, the Prime Minister said:

He also again paid lip service to being seen to be grafting hard to get a good deal for Britain – repeating his line from last week when he said renegotiating was ‘hard work’.

He added:

‘The British people and I want a system where you have to pay in, before you get out. We don’t want a something for nothing society. That is what we are determined to deliver.
