European Council president Donald Tusk left a meeting on Sunday evening with Prime Minister David Cameron declaring there is “no deal” yet over a renegotiation of the UK's relationship with the EU. It had been planned that any proposed deal could be put to other EU leaders on Monday, ahead of a February summit. Read full article

    Mr Cameron won't get much out of a hopelessly divided EU but will present it as a major victory with huge concessions.
    Hopefully UK voters will see through the charade and vote without fear to leave the EU.

    They'll throw him a bone, a worthless one. I'm voting to leave as I trust most UK voters will...regardless of what he comes back with!

    Camoron has some of Obumma about him.

    Promising alternative to the peer group attempting to 'lead' the Conservatives but once I read his 'CV' I realised he was a wanker and so it has proven.

    He will lie to the electorate just like Heath did.

    IF he offers a straight referendum he will lose, so expect the worst for the electorate to choose from.

    Attempting to frighten people to vote NO will backfire big-time on him, Osbourne and The Canuk.

    Voice thinks Cameron is conservative.

    Cameron wants to stay in the EU and will manipulate as much of the press as he can to acheive the goal.

    Don't fall for it.
    Run run run as fast as you can away from that anchor around your neck.

    Cameron will never get enough from the EU to satisfy intelligent British voters. Back in the 70s, the British people were told they were voting for a “Common Market”. It was a lie. Not so easily conned now. We want the EU out of the UK. No more EU legislation slid on to the UK statute book. A review of everything already on the statute book. Removal of everything we don't want. No migrants entering the UK unless WE say so. No entry unless they have a job. No benefits unless WE say so. Who would travel to a foreign country and expect the government to provide a house? So none of that. No more “dependants” joining someone in the UK. No more CAP or CFP. Get the spanish out of UK waters.

    ,Donald, “Prime Minister, would you keep the UK in the EU for five billion euros?”
    David, “My goodness, Mr Tusk…we would have to discuss terms of course”.
    Donald, “Would you keep the UK in the EU for five euros?” David:
    “Mr Tusk, what kind of politician do you think I am?”
    Donald, “Prime Minister, we’ve already established that. Now we are haggling about the price”.
    Oh dear…

    EXIT THE EU UL NOT GET ANOTHER CHANCE!
    THE European Union’s vast experiment in open borders, free movement and cultural diversity has been tested to destruction!
    Cameron’s negotiations with the EU to limit the amount of benefits that can be paid out to migrants is the political equivalent of putting a sticking plaster on the victim of a car crash “irrelevant and totally ignoring what really needs to be done” No one voted for this, no one wants it and we have now reached a stage where our social services can’t cope, social tensions are rising in both England and in EVERY country in the EU
    It is patently obvious that whatever small concessions Cameron manages to wrest from Donald Tusk it will be presented as a massive triumph

    What is happening in the EU is like watching a slow motion car crash. We are better off out of it. Well out of it. As the slogan goes:-

    Goodbye EU!! Britain's going global!!

    I'll be voting to leave. I shall be urging EVERYONE I know to vote to leave. I know just what sort of dirty tricks the “IN” campaign / Camermoron / the EU will use to get a YES result but if enough people vote “NO” we will all be better off.

    “The deal published by Mr Tusk offers Britain an immediate four-year ”emergency brake“ on migrants claiming benefits in the UK. However, in a blow to Mr Cameron, the EU says the brake must be a ”graduated system“ - meaning it is not a total ban on access to the UK's welfare system. ”The very limited set of demands from our Government have been watered down by the EU in every area,” former cabinet minister Liam Fox has said.

    It will be a fight between the government , EU and big powerful rich companies,

    against the people.

    lets hope the people can pull it off.
