The leader of the Conservatives MEPs has accused the Government of "snarling like a pitbull across the Channel".
Speaking in the European Parliament's London office, Richard Ashworth warned: "We're raising the tempo so that expectations are becoming too great."
He also claimed the Tories were making themselves "pretty unattractive and difficult to work with" in the EU. The party's European leader went on to say many nations were on the UK's side, including Sweden, Finland and Denmark.
