Eurosceptics scorn Champ's warning against Brexit
[Guardian] Senior Eurosceptic Conservatives have dismissed Barack Obama’s suggestion that the UK would be "at the back of the queue" in negotiations for a US trade agreement if it left the European Union.

Cabinet ministers accused the "lame duck" US president of making meaningless threats to blackmail the British people into voting to remain in Europe. Others pointed out that Europe and the US had never struck a free trade agreement anyway, and claimed Obama was being manipulated by Downing Street.

Chris Grayling, the leader of the House of Commons, said: "We should not give up our independence just because of what President Obama said."

The intervention by Obama, who is popular in Britain, delighted the remain camp, but has left the leave campaign furious. "Barack Obama was doing an old friend a political favour," said the justice minister Dominic Raab, referring to David Cameron.
