PM's EU renegotiation 'an expectation management game'

David Cameron’s renegotiation of Britain’s membership of the EU has become an “expectation management game”, Robert Oxley from campaign group Vote Leave has said.

He dismissed the prime minister’s efforts as “trivial” and said he will “come home empty handed”.

Journalist Cristina Odone, the guest of the day on Friday’s Daily Politics, said Mr Cameron’s diplomatic push for EU reform was “an amazing courtship” but “it's not going to lead to any kind of seduction”.

They were speaking as Mr Cameron travelled to Prague on the latest leg of his renegotiation mission.

He hopes to get a deal agreed at February's EU summit, paving the way for a referendum, which he has promised to hold by the end of 2017.
