EU Deal 'Irreversible', Insists David Cameron
2016-02-06
[NEWS.SKY] David Cameron
... has stated that he is certainly a big Thatcher fan, but I don't know whether that makes me a Thatcherite, which means he's not. Since he is not deeply ideological he lacks core principles and is easily led. He has been described as certainly not a Pitt, Elder or Younger, but he does wear a nice suit so maybe he's Beau Brummel ...
has insisted a finalised EU reform deal would be "irreversible" as the UK would have a veto.

He was speaking after the European Parliament President Martin Schulz told Sky News that everything could be reversed, including legally binding decisions. His comments were likely to prove unhelpful to the Prime Minister as he sought to rally support for the proposed reforms.

But during a visit to meet with his counterpart in Copenhagen, Mr Cameron said while it was technically reversible, Britannia would need to agree to it.

Mr Schulz had told Sky News: "Nothing in our lives is irreversible.

"Therefore legally binding decisions are also reversible - nothing is irreversible.
That doesn't make a bit of sense...
"But in politics, when 28 heads of states and governments and the European institutions together on the 19 February agree about a deal, the deal is done."

Mr Cameron has been engaged in a frantic diplomatic efforts in Europe as he seeks to drum up support for the draft deal hammered out with Brussels.
