Brown attacked for backtracking on renewable energy target
Gordon Brown has been warned not to "rat" on EU pledges to generate 20% of energy from renewable sources by 2020. In an exchange at Prime Minister's Questions today, acting Lib Dem leader Vince Cable asked Mr Brown: "If the government is fully committed to the 20% target for Britain, why did his own energy minister go on television yesterday and say he wanted it cut from 20% to 10%, under pressure from the nuclear lobby? Vince warned the PM could end up looking "less green than Blair".

Brown should not be scared of the ballot box on the EU
Gordon Brown should show he is not afraid of the ballot box by holding a referendum on Britain's membership of the EU, Liberal Democrat acting leader, Vince Cable MP said yesterday. Speaking as the Prime Minister reported back to MPs after the Lisbon summit, Dr Cable said such a referendum would lead to an honest debate on the issue. The Liberal Democrats believe the current reform treaty does not require a referendum, but that the cumulative effect of changes to the EU since 1975 - including the Single European Act and Maastricht - mean there should now be a vote to reaffirm British membership.
