Well done Mr Tusk. Wish someone in Westminster had a spine, but being all reptiles looking out for themselves you'll not find one.

US President Donald Trump is set to meet other Nato leaders for potentially fractious talks at a summit in Brussels shortly.
Ahead of his visit, Mr Trump hit out at the EU on trade and at his Nato allies for failing to spend enough on defence.
He was met with a sharp rebuke from European Council President Donald Tusk, who accused the president of criticising Europe "almost daily".
"Dear America, appreciate your allies, after all you don't have that many."
Mr Tusk added that the EU spent more than Russia on defence, and as much as China.
He said the US did not and would not have a better ally than the EU, reminding the president that European troops had also fought and died in Afghanistan after the 11 September 2001 attacks on the US.
