1. Clegg bashing time. 2. Bundesbank spanner

I like Nick Clegg.  An advocate of withdrawal from the EU must think Mr Clegg is the best thing since sliced bread.  To hear the Deputy Prime Minister whinging on television about Cameron's use of the veto (and in so doing making a blatant U-turn) will do the anti EU brigade's cause a power of good.

But Ed Miliband is fast running out of time and opportunities to change the political weather.
Then again, there is one upside. He could be Nick Clegg. Before this weekend I had sneaking admiration for the Lib Dem leader. Despite the savage criticisms, and shameless opportunism, he had taken his party from nowhere into government. He’d done his job.
But over the last 48 hours Clegg and his colleagues have shown themselves in their true colors. A spineless, duplicitous rabble.

Boris has weighed into the EU debate:

As I surmised might happen, the financial markets are not exactly enthusiastic about the path now to be trodden by the eurozone countries.  The Bundesbank has thrown a well-directed spanner into the works.  The UK is well out of involvement in the eurozone crisis: there will be tears at bedtime in Berlin and Paris.
