Opinion polls continue to indicate falling support for the UK's membership. That's what the people of Britain have been telling me. But speaking in defence of the press, Daily Telegraph editor Charles Moore said that Mr Vaz's attempts to flag up the EU was really an attempt to put the case for entry into the single currency. There are many people in favour of membership of the EU who are against abolishing the pound. This is constantly obscured by the government.
Great newspapers ought to tell the truth and put the facts out before the British people.
The minister will re-iterate his message in a speech to the Cardiff Chamber of Commerce. Mr Cook, Mr Vaz and Mr Blair should come clean about their desire to scrap the pound Francis Maude He will also open the offices of Wales in Europe, an offspring of the Britain in Europe pressure group, which has been publicly backed by the prime minister. Instead, Labour have refused to get stuck into the debate, tagging feebly along behind the federalists who want to create a single European superstate.
