Cameron's claims that that MPs who vote against bombing in Syria are "terrorist sympathisers" backfired after his comments were torn apart as a "contemptible and desperate slur which demeans his office".
While thousands vented their fury at the PM's claim on social media, pushing #terroristsympathiser to the top Twitter trend in the UK on Wednesday morning, a poll in The Times also added to Cameron's embarrassment.
The survey found nearly one third of people would fit into Cameron's description of "terrorist sympathisers" by not backing British airstrikes against the so-called Islamic State in Syria.
Cameron sparked outcry after telling MPs considering voting against a bombing campaign on Tuesday night: “You should not be walking through the lobbies with Jeremy Corbyn and a bunch of terrorist sympathisers."

Labour MPs, including Lisa Nandy, Wes Streeting, and Jonathan Reynolds followed suit.
