Demands for a referendum on the European Union Reform Treaty were reignited today after British Prime Minister Gordon Brown signed Britain up to the document in the Portuguese capital.

Mr Brown came under hails of criticism after missing the lavish official signing ceremony in Lisbon, attended by prime ministers and presidents from all 26 other EU states.
