Cameron must rebuild relations at Brussels summit - 2011-10-25

The Prime Minister must work to deliver a sustainable solution to eurozone crisis.

That's the message from Labour MEPs ahead of a crucial summit of EU leaders in Brussels.

Speaking ahead of the European Summit on Wednesday 26 October, Labour's leader in the European Parliament, Glenis Willmott MEP said: "The government now needs to focus on rebuilding relations with other EU leaders to deliver a stable solution to the eurozone crisis. Jobs depend on it, and that is what really matters to the British people.

"This week we have once again been forced to witness an out-of-touch Conservative Party tearing itself apart over Europe. The government was always going to win yesterday's vote, and Parliament has made the right decision. But David Cameron has been weakened both at home and abroad, at a time when what we really need is strong leadership.

"Let us hope that the Prime Minister has learned from his mistakes and takes a constructive approach to tomorrow's summit that is more about saving the British and European economies and less about saving his own skin."
