David Cameron wants to avoid ‘Tory drama’

David Cameron has hit out at Boris Johnson over the EU referendum row, but insisted he did not want the contest to turn into a “Tory psycho-drama”.

The prime minister said the Tory former mayor was “wrong” to compare the EU to Hitler’s attempts to create a European superstate and claimed the Brexit campaigner had told friends he had “never been a leaver” before his decision to back the opposing side to Mr Cameron.

The Tory leader acknowledged that he could not wait for the referendum to be over so the Conservatives could “come back together again”.
