  Well....phew!
  
  One is trying to digest all the EU news this morning and there is a lot of it. Boris Johnson says David Cameron "played a blinder!" in Brussels.
  
  But did he?
  What are we left with? It was clearly a victory for the 81 eurosceptic MP's in his party but I doubt if it was a victory for the nation as a whole. Far from the Eurozone being finished as is often spouted, it has consolidated itself and will proceed in a more integrated way. There are 17 Eurozone countries, 6 others are aligning themselves with the new deal and will.. the experts say.. join the Euro in time. There will be 23 Euro countries then at the core of the new Europe. The only country taking the same stance as the UK is Hungary.
  
  There will now be a two tier EU. The outer limits occupied by UK and Hungary..(Sweden and the Czrech Republic have yet to decide which way to jump) so its going to be cold and lonely out there with few friends.
  
  There is much more to this and it is emerging all the time....but it most definitely is a pivotal moment. Being on the outside like a kind of Switzerland, influencing nothing, having little input on future direction is the role David Cameron has won for us. His 81 MP's will slap him on the back on monday, rather than savage him in rottweiler fashion as had been on the cards. He wont be savaged now, but did he do the right thing for the nations jobs?..or was he saving his own Conservative party from disintegration...and where are the Libdems now??
  
  If the Eurozone hits its global stride in the years ahead, as is predicted by some, we wont be part of that big world stage.
