THERESA May stepped in to stop a blazing row between two top Cabinet Ministers, it emerged last night.

Tensions between Chancellor Philip Hammond and new Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson over defence funding boiled over in a heated Commons row.

The PM was forced to step in and break up the ‘toe to toe’ row during a Brexit vote on Wednesday night.

A source said: “She made it clear the two of them should grow up and calm down.

“After slugging it out toe to toe, they trudged off like naughty schoolboys.”

One Tory MP said: “The PM could see it was all getting out of hand and broke it up.”

It came after the Defence Secretary was said to be angry after allies of the Chancellor likened him to the Dad’s Army character Private Pike.

Thanks Berlin_Freeper. Not a surprise, she's unfit for the office, her ministerial picks are bound to act like a-holes.
