My Head Spins. One Moment I'm Told

The Uk Is Not Going To Leave The European Union. Of Course Not. We Are Inextricably Wound Up With Europe. In Terms Of Culture, History And Geography, We Are A European Nation.

Most Of What Needs To Be Changed In The Euro Zone Can Be Done Without Treaty Changes. The Demand For Treaty Change Is As Political As It Is Legal And I Don't Think It's Going To Happen Soon.

I Don't Watch A Huge Amount Of Telly. I Read A Lot. I'm Reading At The Moment 'freedom,' By Jonathan Franzen, A Great Big Brick Of A Book, And I'm Loving It.

Nothing Will Do More Damage To The Pro-european Movement Than Giving Room To The Suspicion That We Have Something To Hide, That We Do Not Have The “cojones” To Carry Our Argument To The People.

Grown-up Politicians Talk To Each Other Across Party Lines. Over The Last Few Weeks I Have Had Lengthy Conversations With Ed Miliband, David Miliband, With Tony Blair, With Peter Mandelson... Talking About Europe, Talking About Political Reform.
