Boris Johnson's comments show that the Tories are split right to the top on Europe.
I do think it would be right for such a debate to be held, particularly if the upshot of the Lisbon Treaty is going to produce President Blair.
If we are faced with the prospect of Tony Blair suddenly emerging, suddenly pupating into an intergalactic spokesman for Europe, then I think the British people deserve a say
I don't want to say anything or do anything now that would undermine or prejudice what is happening in other countries where they are still debating whether to ratify this treaty. That is a very sensible thing to do
