David Cameron, according to Sky News is in Brussels and will tell them today that they must reduce costs in Administration etc.

In line with the rest of Europe to save money.

He is on another collision course that he wont win, He has already been told by other countries to keep his comments to himself, and he won't rule the roost. And they wont be told what to do.

Isn't it strange that he is already ripping this country to pieces with with cutbacks and severe savings, and he is trying to do the same in Europe.

What l would like to know is where is this money going, Osborne is already borrowing money, so where is the money going that the Coalition are saving.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again.

Dave thinks he is God and is going to rule the world.

Well it does not matter whether its Dave or Ed as they are both absolutely useless.

This is about the EU budget as a whole and he has a veto. He can veto the budget if he so wishes.

Is this thread about the EU budget, or is it another general-purpose Tory-hating rant? The thread title might need clarifying.

Lost me ,can't we turn it into a "Arthur make your mind up thread " because i could swear that Arthur keeps telling us that MP's and MEP's alike are spending too much money on admin and expenses and need to cut back

Not sure what this is actually about as that link above is made up and doesn't work.

I guess its this story??

David Cameron and other European leaders are preparing to meet in Brussels to try to reach a settlement on the European Union's long-term budget.

They are under pressure after talks last November collapsed when Britain, Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands demanded deeper cuts from 2014-2020.

Its just an Arthur rant plain and simple

As I understand it, there is a will amongst members - even France - to reduce the budget, or at least not increase it. So Dave may get his way.

The problem is that Von Rompelstiltskin is disinclined to listen to them......

Looks like we'll get it. Obviously other countries wanted it as well but there you go, Success.

But ... But ... Cameron is on a collision course that he won't win! The other countries won't let him tell them what to do!

Germany and Britain 1 - France 0. France even snubbed the meeting with us. Thankfully Hollande doesn't appear to be a great politician unlike his predecessor. Additionally we seem to have more in common with Germany at the moment. Also Cameron has kept the British rebate.
