SUNDAY EXPRESS: EUROPEAN leaders are plotting to “bounce” Britain into the euro in the wake of the economic crisis.
The chairman of the euro group of finance ministers said Gordon Brown had to “beg to be let into the room” where crisis talks took place place last week.
Luxembourg finance minister Jean-Claude Juncker said the group warned the Prime Minister he could be excluded from future talks on the European recovery as long as Britain remained outside the single currency.
Asked whether he thought Britain would now join the 15 countries who have adopted the euro, Mr Juncker said: “For the government leader of a big country it cannot be pleasant to invite himself into a meeting and then to have to leave the meeting when those who are sharing their currency make the decisions."
