Red, Not Ginger

124 Conservative MPs at last night's founding meeting of the latest Eurosceptic drinking ... sorry, ginger group.

And their specific proposal is what, exactly? They have been seen at this launch event. Do not expect to hear from ninety per cent of them on this issue ever again.

Ed Miliband, who with Gordon Brown and Ed Balls successfully held out against the euro during the Blair years, could now position himself within the European popular, political and parliamentary mainstream by proposing legislation with five simple clauses redefining the United Kingdom's relationship with the European Union.

That legislation ought to command the support of all parties, and it would call the bluff of the supposedly numerous backbench Tory Eurosceptics.
