On Sunday, the News of the World claimed that Tony Blair has already decided to ratify the EU constitution – with or without the support of either the public or his party (let alone his heir, Gordon Brown). Today, the … Continue reading

A smattering of promising new EU blogs have crossed the radar in the last couple of days, all of which are worth a gander. In no particular order: The Telegraph have now got around to replacing David Rennie, whose Brussels … Continue reading
