Mr Alexander
I do not want to intrude on private grief, but the Prime Minister lost, and lost badly. If the hon. Gentleman would like to have it on his leaflets that 27-0—actually, to be fair, it was 26-2—in the European Council is a sign of success and effectiveness and of statesmanship by a British Prime Minister, good luck to him.
Mr Alexander
It’s called losing, actually, and I do not think that Britain wants a Prime Minister who keeps losing.
