Cameron vows to 'fix' migration as he tells EU 'voters are my boss': PM promises detailed proposals by Christmas

Daily Mail  

'I'm very clear about who the boss is, and it is the British people,' he said David Cameron has told EU chief Jose Manuel Barroso that the British people want migration from Europe ‘fixed’ – and he promised detailed proposals by Christmas on how he will do it. The Prime Minister hit back at Mr Barroso, who declared on a visit to London that curbs on migrants from the Continent would be ‘illegal’ and Britain would be left with not even ‘marginal influence’ in the world if it left the EU. I will fix it.’ But Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg claimed Mr Barroso was right to warn that Britain would be marginalised on the world stage if it quits the EU. ‘I just think bobbing around rather hopelessly in the mid-Atlantic, and having lots of major foreign investors pulling out of this country jeopardising millions of jobs…I don’t think is a way of making this country stronger and safer and more prosperous in the future.’ Mr Barroso, who steps down from his post at the end of the month, warned Britain would struggle to have even ‘marginal influence’ in the world outside the EU.
