Mr Macmillan, a weary-looking father figure, at last held out his hand yesterday and offered to try to lead the Commons and the country into Europe, if he can find the way. There was a good deal of kicking and screaming and this was to be expected. The cries of “shame” stabbing through the cheers when the prime minister announced that we are making...
The Community is, and needs to be, an evolving institution. One temptation should be avoided – to seek, month after month, to prove that membership of the Community has created all Britain’s ills. We enter Europe with the reputation of being a nation of shopkeepers; we would be unwise to present ourselves as a nation of second-hand car dealers. Abo...

The homecoming was nonetheless a unique and historic triumph for a prime minister who had secured th...

Three hundred million Europeans wake this morning to a new year and an extraordinary new reality that constitutes the boldest experiment ever attempted to bind people together by the money they use. Heralded from the Arctic Circle to the Côte d’Azur by fireworks, champagne and the strains of Beethoven’s Ode to Joy, E-day dawns after years of meticu...
Today 10 countries join the European Union. That is the easy bit. The problems start here. Forget the politics, although they are complex enough. Take a look at the economics: first, the mismatch between the economic strength of the established members and the new entrants. Even on the most optimistic projections, it will take a generation for the ...
