THE MP for Witney will have no influence in Europe at all after the disastrous failure of his talks in Brussels (Oxford Mail, December 10).

In one fell swoop, David Cameron has kicked the euro in the teeth, denied his backbenchers a referendum and let the bankers off the hook.

Does the Prime Minister really think isolated Britain is the only one out of 27 that is in step?

A struggling eurozone puts back the date of economic recovery here in Oxford even further.

Mr Cameron is in the pocket of his little-England backbenchers.

How much longer can the Lib Dems continue to prop up this apology for a statesman?

The sooner he goes the better for the BMW car plant, our international universities and jobs in Oxford.
