PM accused of scaremongering over EU exit

LABOUR MP Kate Hoey accused David Cameron yesterday of launching a campaign of “fear” to keep Britain in the EU.

Ms Hoey, the co-chair of the Labour Leave group, spoke out after the Prime Minister used an international summit to attack Eurosceptic campaigns at home.

The PM has insisted “no options were off the table” if Britain could not negotiate a better deal from EU membership. But speaking in Iceland yesterday, he claimed that Britain would be politically cut off by an EU exit.
