Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hodge of Barking (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 December 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on EU Council.
EU Council
Any politician with experience of doing business in Europe knows that you never go to a key European meeting without having done extensive and thorough preparatory work, so that as you walk in you are pretty much sure of the outcome you will get. Either the Prime Minister did not bother to do the preparatory work, and betrayed Britain's long-term interests through sheer incompetence, or he had made up his mind before to use the veto because he was afraid of his own Back Benchers. Which of those two was it?
