David Cameron

We look at media comment on British Prime Minister David Cameron’s commitment to Turkish membership of the EU. We also look at comment on the upcoming US review of tax subsidies for renewable energy.

The word “big” has good and bad connotations. When I hear "big", I think of “brother”, as in George Orwell's 1948 dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. David Cameron, the British prime minister, would like me to think of something else.

We look at media comment on Britain’s deficit-cutting efforts and at South Africa’s economy as the 2010 FIFA World Cup opens.

BRITAIN: Have you ever seen a British cabinet minister take the Underground to work? Probably not, as they have traditionally been driven to the Palace of Westminster in Jaguars. But that’s about to change.

David Cameron, Britain's new (Conservative) prime minister, and Nick Clegg, Britain's new (Liberal Democrat) deputy prime minister, are understandably rather pleased with themselves. But things could quickly go to custard.

In the UK, the Liberal Democrats and the Conservatives have formed a coalition, with Conservative Party leader David Cameron as the country’s new prime minister. The press writes about various issues on the new government's agenda.

Clegg is faced with a head-versus-heart decision. Will he end up backing the wrong horse? The stakes are high.

The British people have voted. And the morning after, we are still not sure what they want. Maybe the British people themselves don't know. But one thing is certain: David Cameron will be Britain's next prime minister.

They’re changing the guard at Buckingham Palace. Well, not at Buckingham Place, to be precise, but rather at 10 Downing Street. Britain will soon have a new prime minister. Bye, bye, Gordon Brown.
