David Cameron today insisted he and other democratically-elected leaders should pick who gets the top EU jobs - as he went boating with German leader Angela Merkel and other EU leaders at a lakeside summit in Sweden. The Prime Minister was pictured at the back of a rowing boat at the Swedish PM Fredrik Reinfeldt's summer home in Harpsund 120km west of Stockholm. The summit came after London Mayor Boris Johnson mocked Mr Cameron's bid to block former Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean-Claude Junker getting the EU's top job. He said it was the ‘quintessence of turd-polishing pointlessness’.
