Arise Sir Remain-backer! Fury as Cameron accused of handing gongs to pro EU candidates

DAVID Cameron and George Osborne were accused tonight of abusing their power by rewarding pro-European Union backers with honours.

Brexit campaigners said the appearance of leading Remain figures on the Queen’s Birthday Honours List marked “a new low”.

Among those getting a CBE – “for services to the food industry and charity” – is Innocent Drinks cofounder Richard Reed, the deputy chairman of the Britain Stronger in Europe official Remain campaign.

John Armitage, founder of hedge fund Egerton Capital, who is believed to have donated cash to the In campaign, also gets a CBE.

Gisele Stuart, Vote Leave chairman and Labour MP, said: “David Cameron and George Osborne have used every single ounce of their power to try to bully and frighten the British people into backing their campaign to keep us in the EU. Abusing our honours system to reward campaign cronies and donors is a new low.
