Boris Johnson: ‘This is a chance to get a great deal for Britain’ (PA)

On  23 January 2013, David Cameron announced that the UK would hold an In-Out referendum if he was returned to power at the next election. I watched his speech in a hotel room in St Moritz where I was skiing with an old foreign correspondent friend. I turned to him and said: “We’re f**ked!”
