26 June 2014: Cameron and Juncker
Posted in Comment on 06/26/2014 06:33 am by Stephen TindaleThe Sunday Express published my article on David Cameron’s attempt to stop Jean-Claude Juncker becoming President of the European Commission (see Sunday Express: Be shrewd and end this EU feud).
In it, I argue that Cameron is right that Juncker is not ideal, but that the British prime minister’s tactics have been dreadful. Now, it is time to focus on policy rather than personality. The best policy to boost economic growth, increase employment, strengthen energy security and help control climate change would be an ambitious energy efficiency programme.
