British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond says Russia represents a threat to everyone.

The reason, Hammond explained, is the country's "disregard for international norms."

It is insulting to suggest Turkey is not a safe country for Syrian refugees, British Prime Minister David Cameron has said.

Cameron was addressing lawmakers in the House of Commons on last week's refugee deal between Turkey and the European Union, replying to a question from opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn. 

David Cameron welcomed the EU deal with Turkey saying that it could “significantly” reduce numbers of migrants crossing the eastern Mediterranean to enter Greece by boat.

Mr. Cameron said the arrangement was “a plan to break the link between getting on a boat and getting settlement in Europe…. a plan to bust the business model of the smugglers”, as Reuters reports.

The former head of a prominent British business lobbying group, who quit his post because he supports Britain's exit from the European Union, accused Prime Minister David Cameron of scaremongering in comments published on March 7. 

The bosses of more than a third of Britain's top companies on Feb. 23 urged voters to keep the country in the European Union, warning that an exit from the bloc would threaten jobs.

David Cameron will present parliament with a deal on EU reforms on Feb. 22, hoping to win support for his campaign to stay in the bloc after London Mayor Boris Johnson dealt a blow by backing a "Brexit".

The United Kingdom is to hold a referendum on its membership in the European Union this year on June 23, the country's Prime Minister David Cameron has announced.

With the referendum campaign in place as of today, Cameron has added the cabinet will support the "in" vote.

Thousands of refugees could flock to Britain from France if voters decide to leave the European Union, a spokesman for David Cameron said on Feb. 8, underlining the prime minister's stance that an exit would hurt security.

British Prime Minister David Cameron has secured allowance to a ban on in-work benefits for EU migrant workers, at a meeting with European Council President Donald Tusk.

The step will be enforced if London votes to stay in the EU. Other member states will also have to agree to the proposal.
