Quote of the day

"We have had enough of reading of British prime ministers over the last 20 to 30 years in the days preceding a summit that 'they will stand up for the British national interest' and then coming back from a summit with a kind of Chamberlain-esque piece of paper saying, 'I have negotiated very, very hard, I have got opt-outs on this and that and I have succeeded in standing up for British interests'."

From Edward Leigh, the Conservative MP for Gainsborough, Lincolnshire.

The fight continues. And remember this well: I was in the US when, despite endless evidence of Republican illegality presented to the American public by the Washington Post, Nixon won almost every State in his 1972 Re-election campaign. But in the end, the trail of lies, spin, excuses, surreal defences and constitutional corruption led back to the Oval Office

The same will happen here"
