lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I have just had to sit through a speech of the most breathtaking hypocrisy from the British Labour leader here, Glenis Willmott, displaying all the cynicism, opportunism, and shoddiness which led her Westminster colleagues to team up with Tory Europhobes and undermine David Cameron’s prospects for an acceptable Brussels deal. Mrs Willmott – I see that she has gone – has a cheek to talk about smashing alliances when her party has sabotaged the chance of rallying round a sensible call for restraint in the EU budget in the form of a freeze. Whatever fine speeches Mr Ed Miliband now makes, the fact is that British Labour’s hypocrisy has made the situation of British pro-Europeans infinitely worse. It is politically impossible to argue to EU citizens under pressure and losing their jobs that the EU budget should rise. So a freeze is the EU-friendly policy. But there must be more flexibility, better targeting of spending for innovation and growth, rather than farm subsidies, and a mid-term review when, hopefully, economies are doing better. We have had no help whatsoever in that from the British Labour party, whatever Mr Swoboda tries to wriggle out of."@en1
