Britain will pour billions of pounds into shattered Greek economy to the ire of Tory MPs

  • Finance ministers from 16 other eurozone countries agree £110bn deal
  • Hopes Greece will now be able to survive without external support
  • Sceptics fear lack of growth will see return to same situation in months
  • Euro Markets react badly: FTSE-100, DAX and CAC-40 all close down
  • But Dow Jones industrial average crosses 13,000 for first time since 2008
  • The demented Chancellor George Osborne: The bailout is 'good for Britain'
  • Alistair Darling: 'I suspect Greece will be back at the table at some point'
  • Protests planned against 'medieval' deal across country tomorrow
