Writing in the Sunday Telegraph, Cameron has for the first time set out his key priorities for change in a seven-point plan. They are:

• Powers flowing away from Brussels, not always to it

• National parliaments able to work together to block unwanted European legislation

• Businesses liberated from red tape and benefiting from the strength of the EU's own market to open up greater free trade with North America and Asia

• UK police forces and justice systems able to protect British citizens, unencumbered by unnecessary interference from the European institutions, including the European court of human rights

• Free movement to take up work, not free benefits

• Support for the continued enlargement of the EU to new members but with new mechanisms in place to prevent vast migrations across the continent

• Ensuring Britain is no longer subject to the concept of "ever closer union", enshrined in the treaty, to which every EU country currently has to sign up.

I could go through the points that I wouldn't trust him or his party with if they ever got their way, but that's just it, no matter what happens they'll present it as a victory.

And no matter what, you will present anything they do as a disaster.

You can't be just as bad as, and better than, at the same time.
