On Saturday night it emerged the Foreign Secretary, Philip Hammond, reportedly called Conservative MP Bill Cash “a total s***” after he defied orders to keep a report on the EU deal negotiated by David Cameron under wraps. "He said something innocuous like “Everything OK, Foreign Secretary?” Hammond glared at him, got right up to Bill’s face and hissed, “No, it isn’t! I'm standing here telling you what I think.” Mr Cameron also ridiculed Mr Johnson’s ambiguous suggestion in a recent newspaper column that voting to leave could lead to a better deal for Britain in Europe.“We should also be clear that this is a final decision,” he told MPs, arguing that a second renegotiation was “not on the ballot paper”. Some 52 per cent of people said they would vote to leave, with 48 per cent saying they would back remaining, the exact opposite of last month’s findings.
