Labour leader Ed Miliband trails David Cameron as the political leader most trusted to fight for the UK's interests in Europe, a new poll shows.

One in three of those asked plumped for the Prime Minister. Ed Miliband was second with 20%, with UKIP leader Nigel Farage in third on 11% and Nick Clegg in fourth on 5%.

But with an in-out EU referendum promised by the Conservatives in 2017, all parties will note that one in six, 17%, of those polled said they backed no political leader to stick up for the UK in Europe.

The results also show the public divided on whether or not Mr Cameron can deliver real change to the UK's relationship with the EU.

The Tory leader has said he wants a new settlement with Europe, ahead of his pledged referendum. But while 34% think he can achieve that aim, two in five, 40%, are sceptical.
