Chris Huhne attacks Tory Eurosceptics over 'semi-detached' stance on Europe - by Hélène Mulholland

Liberal Democrat cabinet minister Chris Huhne has urged David Cameron to stand up to Conservative Eurosceptics intent on making the UK "semi-detached" from the European Union.

In an interview in the Independent, the energy secretary warned that the isolationist approach being pursued by Tory Eurosceptics would be disastrous for British jobs and trade.

Huhne's comments are likely to resurrect tensions between the two coalition parties over Cameron's recent decision to use the veto over a new EU treaty.
