He also criticised David Cameron for not claiming back the UK’s EU rebate, which was first negotiated by Margaret Thatcher back in 1984. Several senior Tories then called for Mr Cameron to join their campaign to leave the EU.Polish-born Shrewsbury Tory MP Daniel Kawczynski said the Warsaw government’s inflexibility over Mr Cameron’s demands was “pushing” him to support an EU exit.

He said he was “disappointed” with the Polish government after all the UK had done for the country, including going into the Second World War to defend it from the Nazis, supporting Solidarity in the 1980s and helping to get it accepted in Nato and the EU.The EU referendum is expected in July or September this year, and no later than the end of 2017.
