What has Cam gone and done now? He thought he had Merkel on side regarding opposition to JCJ's appointment -he didn't. After forcing a vote on JCJ, will he now get the support he needs from other EU leaders to push through EU reform ahead of the referendum?Len Rum said:Bit worried about our Dave. This^, now questions of competence are being raised over his appointment of Andy Coulson, despite him being warned at the time. And all this coming after the Failure of the 'Big Society' and the U turn on the Conservative's green agenda. Not to mention hug a hoodie. Making Ed look good.Len Rum said:First British Prime Minister to have lost a vote on war since 1782.
RandomJ said:Well Dave ended up looking a right **** today didn't he.
Truly inspirational - and the way that he shares the pain of austerity with us moves me to tears.mcmanus said:I think the world of him. Proper special.
The way he has fought his way up from the bottom to the top job in British politics is just a heart rending story of guts and ultimate glory. A true warrior of the people.

A former adviser to David Cameron has been charged with making and possessing indecent images of children.
Patrick Rock, 63, was arrested at his home in London in February after Downing Street contacted police.
He has been charged with three offences of making indecent images of children and one offence of possessing 59 indecent images of children.
The National Crime Agency (NCA) said the four charges cover offences allegedly committed between July 31 and August 31, 2013.
Asked about the decision at a news conference in Brussels, the Prime Minister said: "I won't be saying anything.
"It would be purely a matter for the courts and it wouldn't be appropriate to comment."
Rock has been bailed to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on July 3.
The NCA said the images have been assessed by Child Exploitation and Online Protection (CEOP) officers and Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) lawyers as meeting the definition of Level C.
Level C is defined as "indecent images depicting erotic posing with no sexual activity", an NCA spokeswoman said.
Rock, a special adviser on policy, resigned from his post a day before he was arrested.
He has been an influential figure behind the scenes in the Conservative Party for decades and made three unsuccessful bids to become an MP.
In the 1970s he was credited with coining the Tory slogan "Cows moo, dogs bark, Labour puts up taxes".
In 2011 Rock was drafted in by Mr Cameron - a fellow adviser to former Home Secretary Michael Howard in the 1990s - to beef up the Downing Street policy unit.
Prior to his arrest and resignation, he had been involved in drawing up government policy on internet porn filters.
