Cameron humbled as Tories lose leadership of new Euro-Parliament bloc - Telegraph
David Cameron's Conservative MEPs have been forced surrender the leadership of the new Eurosceptic bloc to Polish Right-wingers in order to prevent the group from falling apart.

The new alliance will now be led by Michal Tomasz Kaminski, a senior figure in the Polish Law and Justice Party (PiS) and a close aide to Lech Kaczynski, Poland's controversial Right-wing President.

Timothy Kirkhope, the leader of Conservative MEPs, was forced to drop his plan to stand for the post because a Tory rebel beat Mr Kaminski in elections for the European Parliament's vice-presidency.

Better yet, they won't be in control of the message. And given the nature of their "allies", it could get pretty interesting very quickly.
