lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, as leader of the Labour MEPs, it is clear to me that David Cameron has represented a bad deal for Europe and a bad deal for Britain. We have a Prime Minister who is willing to put the priorities of the extreme fringes of his party ahead of the interests of his country. Some of the British Conservative Party talk about David Cameron’s bulldog spirit – standing up to Merkel and Sarkozy, using Britain’s veto – but the only thing David Cameron has vetoed is Britain’s influence at the top table. He has left our country isolated in Europe, without allies and without influence. As Mr Barroso said, not 17 plus, but 27 minus. Cameron claims he was protecting the City of London, but in fact, he has failed to secure a single safeguard for UK financial services. He was trying to protect his friends in the City instead of protecting British jobs and growth, and he spectacularly failed in both. The UK Government believes its actions have prevented the 26 from using the resources of the EU 27. This point needs clarifying. Could President Van Rompuy confirm whether this new treaty will be subject to the EU institutions and, in particular, the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice, under Article 273? Friday was not a good day for Britain, not a good day for diplomacy. Cameron left Britain high and dry. He has been stoking the fires of his party’s eurosceptics for years and now he is surrounded by flames with no obvious escape. It is a catastrophic failure of his leadership and a catastrophic decision for Britain. I say to Mr Verhofstadt that, if there is one political party in Britain standing up against Cameron and Clegg – do not forget that Clegg was part of this agreement – and their destructive policies, it is the British Labour Party."@en1
