The Sun Up Eurs

Politicians of all allegiances will be looking at this morning's leader comments for reaction to David Cameron's decision to veto an EU treaty- and Conservative's won't be surprised that the Guardian believes Cameron put his party before country (the Indy think he did the wrong thing too).

The Times
and The Sun are much more positive about the PM's decision, with the former arguing he had no other option and the tabloid saying he deserves credit for his stance.

The Daily Telegraph's leader is also positive, saying: "David Cameron's bold decision in Brussels has won us a golden opportunity to redefine our give-give relationship with Europe."

Meanwhile in the comment pages, Ed Miliband opines that David Cameron has let Britain down in Saturday's Guardian.

But Daily Mail readers get a different story, with Simon Heffer (no fan of the prime minister) arguing that Cameron has never been in such a strong position in the country.

In the FT, Tory backbencher George Eustice argues that it's a return of power, rather than a referendum, that the British people are after adding: "Well, at least no one can say David Cameron is soft on Europe."

And Trevor Kavanagh writes in The Sun "British Bulldog" Cameron was "right to bite the Euro-bullies".

Hmm, "Louis 30K hair transplant" is headline news while Cameron's EU veto is a tiny blurb in the Daily Mirror. Good to know the state of the media in this country.

The Murdoch press is loving this... absolutely loving it...

They have a chance to get back into the good books of their 'readership' or should I say comic readers after the debacle still evolving over the phone hacking disgrace and their disregard for privacy and even the hunt for truth and accuracy.

The right-wing press is lapping it up - increased sales, goading the beast of nationalism and isolationism... I could go on, but the blood pressure needs to be kept under control...

You never, never see or hear any business leader saying:
'Now that we're in a deep recession, can we please have more isolation, less competition and less opportunity to sell our goods and services;...

Yes, the press are having a field-day, but they are celebrating a Pyrrhic victory...and the public is lapping it up... give me strength...

Nice bit of diversionary tactics to cover up what a rabble they really are..
