Andrew Neil has the top political stories of the day.

After ten hours of negotiation, the prime minister refuses to put pen to paper and sign a new European-wide treaty to help save the euro. Mr Cameron said it just wasn't in Britain's interests to do so. Officials accused the prime minister of scuppering a full accord to appease his party.

Andrew talks about Europe with UKIP leader Nigel Farage, shadow foreign secretary Douglas Alexander, former chairman of the Conservative Party Norman Fowler, Lib Dem MEP and chair of the European Parliament's Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee Sharon Bowles, and Tory MP Bill Cash. There are also views from City AM editor Allister Heath and Guardian journalist Rowenna Davis. BBC political correspondent Iain Watson is live from Brussels.
