He writes that
Time is running out for David Cameron's European policy. At his press conference this morning, he clung to his "one policy at a time", "it shall not rest" approach in regard to the Lisbon treaty, but he probably won't be able to do so for much longer. Indeed, to some the formula is already sounding more evasive than rational, precisely the sort of dodge that Mr Cameron frequently accuses Gordon Brown of making.
More tricky for Mr Cameron is the European President role
That led to two awkward follow-up questions that Mr Cameron struggled to answer. Was he really saying that Britain's interests in Europe would be better served by a foreign president than by Mr Blair? And wasn't the underlying thrust of his broader point that he wanted the job to be done badly (surely not a good thing, if it is to exist, for either the EU or Britain)?
