Cameron: UK 'can do business' with Juncker
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.
Poll: Support for Britain to stay in EU falls
An ITV News/ComRes poll has found that the proportion of Britons that would vote for the UK to stay in the EU has fallen by four percentage points.
The figure has dropped to 36 per cent following the row over Jean-Claude Juncker’s appointment as President of the European Council last week.
If a referendum was to be held, 43 per cent of people would vote for Britain to leave the EU.
And 34 per cent believe membership of the EU is a “good” thing for the country, a fall of three per cent, while 44 per cent say it is a “bad” thing.
