PM’s EU deal ‘does nothing to tackle real issues’

LABOUR leader Jeremy Corbyn joined the chorus of critics attacking David Cameron’s EU renegotiation rhetoric yesterday, saying his changes did nothing to tackle the real issues facing Britain.

The deal agreed in Brussels included an “emergency break” on benefits for migrant workers and a commitment for business “burden reduction.”
