This is according to Cameron.
"I believe certain people are just trying to stir tension. The minister and I speak often and did so last night too. There were no ‘warnings’ and we had a productive discussion as we always do. I had a good laugh at one of the articles creating the impression of a random politician trying to access an active crime scene. We have no interest in playing showboat games, we have a job to do and will do it properly," he said.
