Paddy Ashdown blames Cameron for Treaty outcome
"Mr Cameron's "asks" were rejected, not because they were too great – but because it was he who made them. No other British prime minister of recent years would have had difficulty getting this package through. This was Gallic pay-back time for all that unwise Cameron lecturing – and sometimes worse – from the sidelines these last months." – Lord Ashdown in The Observer
Ken Clarke also brooding at EU outcome
The Sunday columnists give their verdict
John Redwood: Europe now know Britain will not be pushed around
"In at least one important respect we are in better position today than last week. The EU now knows that this Prime Minister can say “No”. The EU has got used to dealing with weak previous governments under Blair and Brown, who always were willing in the end to rub out a red line or allow a UK national interest to be damaged in the interests of a deal… The EU now knows that this PM might veto, and could veto again. That changes the game a bit." – John Redwood
Douglas Carswell: Let's trade with the whole world
"Outside the moribund West, the world is witnessing an explosion of wealth creation. Indeed, the economic take-off in China, India, Mexico, Brazil and east Asia today is perhaps without any precedent in human history. We could be part of it if we would only detach ourselves from sclerotic Euroland." – Douglas Carswell MP in the Mail on Sunday
"The more Britain distances itself from the EU the more this country can concentrate on shifting the economy’s centre of gravity in line with the shifting axis of global economic power. Being locked into a slow growing and sclerotic Europe is an unappetising future for the 21st century. Mr Cameron is not yet talking of Britain outside the EU, yet that could be ultimate logic of this momentous parting of the ways." – The Sunday Times leader (£)
