  Ditch austerity, Angela Merkel and David Cameron are told
  
  EU leaders meeting in Brussels are under pressure from growing popular anger
  
  As popular discontent spreads across Europe, David Cameron and Angela Merkel will come under pressure from other EU
  
  leaders tomorrow to signal an end to the "all-austerity" approach to the economic crisis.
  
  European leaders meeting in Brussels tomorrow and Friday are confronted with a political vacuum in Italy, intractable crises in
  
  Spain and Greece and worrying signs of a renewed economic slide in Britain and France. Above all, they are confronted with
  
  growing popular anger at the EU policy of curing recession with austerity.
  
  Mr Cameron and, above all, the German Chancellor Ms Merkel will be urged to agree a summit statement accepting a more
  
  softly-softly approach to cuts in public spending in the eurozone and the wider European Union. The language is likely to be
  
  cautious and will not commit Mr Cameron to any change in the Coalition's austerity policies in Britain
