There are two possible criticisms which pro-European political opponents might make of David Cameron's new European Union policy - one that it is meaningless; the other that it is dangerous. Which will the Labour government argue? I wanted to find out which way the Foreign Secretary would jump on this choice, when chairing his keynote session to the Fabian Change We Need conference. And Miliband won...
