JAMES FORSYTH reports: that Conservative backbenchers will send a letter to David Cameron, before Christmas, urging the Prime Ministers to introduce a national veto over all existing and future EU laws. They recall that the ESC’s report has demonstrated how ‘this would transform the UK’s negotiating position in the EU’.

Moreover, the MPs pointed out, ‘This proposal would enable the Government, for example, to recover control over our borders, to lift EU burdens on business, to regain control over energy policy and to disapply the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights (which is set to impose enormous costs on British business and taxpayers) in popular and sensible ways.’ Please read the Daily Mail article here.
