Rachida Dati MEP interview — David Cameron’s unlikely French ally in Brussels
From our UK edition
The last time former French Justice Minister and MEP Rachida Dati had the attention of the British press she was embroiled in a combination of sex, politics and intrigue as only the French establishment could concoct. Now she’s back as an unlikely, but potentially vital, centrepiece to the Conservative leadership’s plan to keep Britain in Europe. 'David Cameron has been brave in basically saying: we want the British people to feel comfortable in the EU, but we want them to have a "better deal"' Dati opines. We’re sat in the grandly gothic surroundings of London’s St Pancras station, and the last staging post en-route back to Brussels feels a suitable place to discuss Britain’s place in Europe.
