Don't sell out England, Cameron warns Miliband as Labour accuse PM's plan to stop Scottish MPs from voting on English matters of being a 'Tory trap'
- Cameron called on Miliband to back Tory plans to block Scottish MPs
- The plans would mean MPs in Scotland could not vote on English issues
- The three party leaders pledged more powers to Scotland ahead of vote
- Labour reacted furiously to the attack on Miliband, accusing PM of 'cynicism'
- Cameron will host an ‘English votes for English laws’ summit on Monday
David Cameron dramatically played the patriotic card yesterday by accusing Ed Miliband of trampling on the rights of the English by blocking ‘home rule’ measures for England.
In a move designed to upstage the Labour conference, which started on Friday, the Prime Minister raised the stakes in the bitter war of words that has raged since the Scottish referendum.
Mr Cameron called on Mr Miliband to drop his opposition to Tory plans for ‘English votes for English laws’ to match devolved powers for Scotland, which have been promised now the Scots have voted to reject independence.
He accused Labour of ‘overriding’ the rights of the English and Welsh – and warned it could lead to a fierce backlash.

Mr Cameron called on Ed Miliband to drop his refusal to back Tory plans for ‘English votes for English laws’ to match devolved powers for Scotland, which have been promised after Scots voted 'No'
The provocative move came as a Mail on Sunday poll showed big support in England for Mr Cameron’s home rule measures.
English voters say the three party leaders were ‘panicked’ into a last-minute pledge of more cash for Scotland because they feared Alex Salmond and the Scottish Nationalists were heading for victory.
Labour reacted furiously to Mr Cameron’s new attack on Mr Miliband. They believe his ‘English votes for English laws’ plan is a Tory trap – because it would mean scrapping the voting rights of 41 Scots Labour MPs at Westminster, potentially wrecking Mr Miliband’s hopes of forming a government.
In effect, Mr Cameron is turning the row into a personal battle with Mr Miliband to prove which of them stands up for England.
In a hard-hitting article for today’s Mail on Sunday, Mr Cameron says: ‘The challenge to Labour and Ed Miliband is clear: either resolve this issue with us, or explain to the people of the rest of the UK why they shouldn’t have the same powers as we are devolving to the people of Scotland – why, for instance, Scottish MPs should be able to vote to vary income tax rates in England, when the Scottish Parliament is going to be setting Scottish income tax rates in Scotland.’
A Labour aide accused Mr Cameron of ‘cynicism’ – and said his package of measures had been ‘drawn up on the back of a *** packet’.
But Tory chiefs are convinced they have forced Mr Miliband on to the back foot with the surprise move to tie extra money and home rule for Scotland to similar measures for England and Wales. Labour MPs have waded in, claiming Mr Miliband must do more to show he is ‘pro-English’.
In a message aimed directly at Mr Miliband, Mr Cameron writes in The Mail on Sunday: ‘Millions of people in the rest of the UK have been asking: “Why can’t we have the same powers and rights as Scotland?”
‘Why should Scottish MPs be able to vote on English schools, English hospitals, English or Welsh income taxes, when English or Welsh MPs would have no say in such matters in Scotland? It is fundamentally unjust to have the views of the people of England and Wales overridden in this way.

Labour reacted furiously to Mr Cameron’s new attack on Mr Miliband, who is Manchester for the party's conference this weekend
Oh my, this is just delicious to watch.
I am certainly no fan of the Tory Party and my political aims are wrapped up in its eventual disintegration and collapse, but how good is this to see the Labour Party, a party that loathes this country and it's people, being literally kneecapped by the very thing it (devolution) that it brought about over a decade ago so that it could hold on to power in Wales and Scotland forever no matter what the government of Westminister was? It's like I always say that I can't wait for the moment when multicultural areas which usually vote Labour, start voting for their own extreme parties: true the damage to the country is done, but how nice to see the damage inflicted on those who did it.
I always say I believe in justice, and this is poetic justice for sure. It gives me great pleasure that the party which destroyed our amazing constitutional system should suffer and be kneecapped in Westminister for what it has done. Great stuff.
