Prime Minister David Cameron faced criticism of his strategy to win back powers from the European Union from leading figures in all three main U.K. political parties.
Ken Clarke, a Cabinet member from Cameron’s Tories, Liberal Democrat Treasury minister Danny Alexander and former EU Trade Commissioner Peter Mandelson from the opposition Labour Party united for the establishment of a pressure group titled British Influence. The group will assemble an “army of supporters to fight europhobia and promote a reform and growth agenda that serves the British national interest,” according to an e-mailed statement today.
