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:
‘We’ve made some progress today, it’s not enough.’
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. It’s going to be hard work, I can’t be certain we’ll get there in February, but I will work as hard as I can to deliver a good deal for the British people.
