"Cameron’s masterstroke: One man can claim the credit: David Cameron…he returns to 10
Downing Street as the victor, to the frustration of the French and the
Italians....He is a real negotiator, with a lot, a lot of tenacity’ acknowledged a member of a delegation which fought step by step to contain his offensive."

“Francois Hollande gave ground to London and Berlin....On Friday, at the end of the European summit on the budget, the truth is cruelly apparent: France did not succeed in defending her positions in the face of the demands of David Cameron, supported by Angela Merkel."
