The Prime Minister yesterday held talks with Angela Merkel as part of his drive to renegotiate the UK’s membership of the EU.

They pair discussed progress on a deal with the German chancellor after dinner at a conference in Bavaria.

And Mr Cameron told a German newspaper the two countries were "key allies" and had to cooperate to make the union "more prosperous".

It went over the electorate heads when Cameron promised a vote on remaining in the EU that he'd be crawling to maintain union.

These clowns seem to think they can’t have economic relations without being in the EU. They derive so much power through appointments and such that they can’t differentiate between whats good for themselves and whats good for the general population.

Germany is in a rapid process of disintegration (think Alka Selter Tablets) unless the opposite forces begin pushing back quick and hard to slow, stop or reverse the process.

embarrassing gaffe
"Let's be clear, since I've become Prime Minister, income equality has actually fallen, whereas it went up under Labour.

"Those are the facts."

Just moments later, the official Conservative HQ Twitter account tweeted: "PM: Since I became PM, income equality has fallen - it went up under Labour. #PMQs"

Germany certainly has no intention of pushing Britain out of the EU. Why did they do that when they worked so hard for it?

I’m happy for Germany. They have a native culture of hard workers. That said, I’m worried for Germany because of all the unvetted Syrians Merkel has allowed in. Many of these new people don’t seem interested in becoming German at all. Much like Obama is doing here, albeit in less conspicuous doses.

It is interesting that after no details given prior on what Cameron needed, the big thing he is now pointing to is “migrant benefits”, which Germany already moved against last year as “benefits tourism”.

With unemployment at the lowest level since German reunification and wages rising, private consumption is driving growth in Europe’s largest economy just as government spending tied to an influx of refugees adds extra stimulus. Exporters are benefiting from a weaker euro as they turn their focus away from slowing emerging markets such as China and toward recovering economies such as the U.S.

I visualize this story in a way that leaves me laughing on the floor.

A British Prime Minister desperately seeks an agreement with a German Chancellor.

Imagine the Prime Minister gets a signed agreement from the Chancellor, flies home, appears before the media and holds it up in the air.

To quote John Lennon: “Its easy if you try” and by God it is.

Except Cameron doesn’t get a signed paper. He gets a document filed in Brussels that he can go look at.
