David Cameron delivered a scathing assessment of Europe's failure to promote economic growth as he urged it to be "bold" to promote business.


The Prime Minister said it was no time for "tinkering" and described European Union plans for a financial transactions tax as "madness". In a speech to the World Economic Forum in Davos, he was strongly critical of what he said were anti-competitive Brussels regulations and the flawed framework for the euro.
