Cameron must face down Ukip

Should David Cameron adopt a more conciliatory attitude towards the European Union? Emily Hohler reports.

After a "five-hour running procedural shambles", the government finally won its bid to sign up again to 35 EU justice measures, including the European Arrest Warrant (EAW), says The Guardian.

As part of EU renegotiations, the UK opted out of 133 European police and criminal justice measures last year, but the government wants to re-adopt 35 of them by 1 December, including the EAW, which is strongly opposed by some on the grounds that it erodes the authority of British courts.
