David Cameron has insisted he can "do business" with the new President of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, despite having vigorously opposed his appointment.
David Cameron has insisted he can "do business" with the new President of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, despite having vigorously opposed his appointment.
The EU without the UK is "unimaginable" Germany's finance minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said in an interview with the (£) Financial Times.
He said: "The EU without the UK is absolutely not acceptable, unimaginable. Therefore we have to do everything, so that the interests and the positions of the UK find themselves sufficiently in European politics."

The PM's friends in Europe are bewildered that he would rather go down in flames than try for the best deal possible in the circumstances.
