Chancellor George Osborne has defended the fact his party has opposing views on Europe, saying "this issue does divide parties and families and friends", adding this is why the Tories decided to allow the public to give their opinion on it.
Turning to splits, he claimed the Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn was probably sitting at home, wondering whether to "impeach" his predecessor Tony Blair "for war crimes".
