Furious David Cameron kicked EU president Herman van Rompuy out of Downing Street after clashing over Brussels jobs, Downing Street confirmed today.

The Prime Minister called a dramatic halt to talks on making Jean-Claude Juncker the new President of the European Commission.

When Mr van Rompuy refused to guarantee a vote of all 28 EU leaders, Mr Cameron declared there is ‘no point in continuing this meeting’ and showed him the door.

Moments after the extraordinary snub, Mr van Rompuy left Number 10, saying nothing to waiting reporters.

The meeting was held ahead of a summit on Friday, where Mr Cameron was to argue against giving Mr Juncker the job. » | Matt Chorley, MailOnline Political Editor | Monday, June 30, 2014
