TORY Prime Minister David Cameron went to war with his own party yesterday as he admitted he was prepared to pull Britain out of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). 

Pressed on the controversial move in the Commons by Tory MP and former minister Andrew Mitchell, Mr Cameron said he ruled “absolutely nothing out” in his bid to scrap Britain’s Human Rights Act. 

Mr Mitchell said there was “considerable concern on both sides of the House” over the prospect of withdrawing from the ECHR. And the Prime Minister’s position contradicted a statement given by Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond on Tuesday.
