The UK PM speaking at the annual CBI conference a short while ago
- the UK is securing more inward investment than the whole of the EU despite his 2017 referendum pledge
- a better deal would be good for “shareholders and customers”
- public support for the EU has eroded and a referendum, preceded by a re-negotiation of the terms of the UK’s membership, was vital to safeguarding the UK’s interests as the EU changed.
He insisted he wanted the UK to stay within a reformed EU, one based on
common market and co-operation, not an ever-closer union.
Britain’s future in Europe matters to the country. It is not working… and that is why we need to make changes
Opposition leader Ed Miliband and coalition partner/Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg will also address the issue of Europe when they speak at the conference later today
