UKIP MEPs are untrustworthy and do not stand up for the UK in Europe, David Cameron has said.

The PM took direct aim at the party aiming to overtake the Tories in May's Euro elections, saying they seldom "bothered to vote" in Brussels.

He was speaking at the launch of the Conservative European and English local election campaign.

UKIP accused him of "unfairly insulting millions of voters", many of whom "normally back his own party".

Mr Cameron is seeking to shift the focus from ex-culture secretary Maria Miller's expenses to the EU-wide polls, which are scheduled for 22 May in the UK.

In a speech at Manchester airport, he categorised his rivals in "two extremist camps", with one professing love for the EU, and the other hate.

Both camps were neglecting the UK's national interest, he argued, re-iterating his pledge to reform the UK's relationship with the EU and hold an in/out referendum in 2017 if the Conservatives win a majority at the 2015 general election.

"If you want real change in Europe that works for you, for your family, for your business, then the Conservative Party is the only party which can deliver for you," Mr Cameron said.

He directed specific criticism at Labour, who he accused of having signed off "power to Brussels, summit after summit", and the Lib Dems, who he said were "absolutely devoted to their dream of ever closer union


He must have forgot that it was his party that signed us up to the EU in the first place and that he has also been signing away powers.

What a chancer.

All the rubbish is going to be ladled out, hoping the unthinking will take it at face value. It's about time voters were given all the facts about the EU, but at the moment, voting for UKIP in the EU elections is just throwing away any influence we have.
