PM's EU renegotiation 'an expectation management game'

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

He dismissed the prime minister’s efforts as β€œtrivial” and said he will β€œcome 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 β€œan amazing courtship” but β€œit'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.
