Britain: The End

Labour promised a referendum on any new European constitution in its 2005 manifesto. But when the name of the document was changed from “constitution” to “treaty” after French and Dutch voters rejected it in 2005, Gordon Brown ditched the pledge.

A summit of all 27 EU nations meets next week to discuss who gets the jobs of president and high representative for �foreign affairs.

Mr Brown’s spokesman said last night the Prime Minister had still not yet heard from Tony Blair whether he wants to go ahead with his stuttering bid for the £250,000-a-year presidency.
