PM Says Tories Can Come Together After EU Row

David Cameron has admitted to Tory in-fighting problems but insisted the party could come together again after the EU referendum.

The Prime Minister said arguments during the campaign were to be expected but insisted that his ministers and MPs would be able to put their differences aside come 24 June.

Mr Cameron and George Osborne suffered a significant Tory backlash over the Treasury report released on Monday claiming Brexit would see up to 820,000 people losing their jobs, trigger a year-long recession and lop £800 of the average wage.

Boris Johnson said the report was a "hoax" and "totally made up" while Iain Duncan Smith said the report was "biased" and called Mr Osborne "Pinocchio" over the claim that house prices would fall by up to 18% in two years.

Former Chancellor Lord Lawson, a campaigner for Brexit, accused Treasury officials of "prostituting themselves for this political end".

Meanwhile the Scottish First Minister and SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon warned the Prime Minister and his Chancellor to stop the "Project Fear" tactics.

The report was branded a "dodgy dossier" and senior Conservatives talked of a no confidence vote in Mr Cameron after the referendum unless he names the date he will step down, which he has said he will do before the next General Election.

One government insider said that the vote of no confidence wouldn't happen, arguing that it was being driven by the "awkward squad" of 30 or so rebels who harbour a deep dislike of the Prime Minister.

But even the Prime Minister's supporters are concerned by No 10's tactics, with one Remain minister warning that the "ludicrous" claims being made in the Treasury report and on holiday costs were causing unnecessary bad blood.

They said: "In fighting to win this referendum (Osborne and Cameron) are just killing themselves with the party."

However, Mr Cameron insisted the bitter and personal attacks could be put behind the party once Britons have had their say on the UK's continued membership of the European Union.

Speaking at an EasyJet hanger at Luton Airport, where he was warning families Brexit would see the cost of their holidays go up, Mr Cameron said: "Obviously this is such a big issue that you do see arguments within political parties.

"There are one or two people in the Labour Party who want us to leave the EU.

"The Conservative Party is more finely balanced. It's something like 60% of my MPs want to stay in and many want to leave and as I've said, there are going to be strong arguments and passionate arguments on both sides.

"Do I believe at the end of this we can all come together and accept the result? Absolutely I do."

Mr Cameron's former policy adviser Steve Hilton, who is supporting Brexit, criticised his EU tactics and claims as "pathetic" but said it would be "profoundly undemocratic and wrong" to force the Prime Minister out of office.

Speaking on Monday, Nicola Sturgeon said: "I think you only have to look at the Scottish referendum to know that that kind of fear-based campaigning, that starts to insult people's intelligence, can have a negative effect.

"I would much rather we were campaigning positively. I think in Scotland certainly, we have got lots of experience of Treasury reports during referendum campaigns, and I think people have got savvy - to be able to see through some of the overblown claims."
