DAVID Cameron has been accused of necking plonk while sacking ministers during his first haphazard reshuffle.

Welsh Secretary Cheryl Gillan was said to have been furious after being ordered to the House of Commons and finding the PM "drinking wine" and "chillaxing".

Downing Street said there may have been booze in the room but insisted Mr Cameron would not have drunk it as it would have been "disrespectful".

There was also uproar after departing Tories James Paice, Edward Garnier and Gerald Howarth and Lib Dem Nick Harvey were all given knighthoods, but Mrs Gillan and axed Environment Secretary Caroline Spelman received nothing — despite being senior to them.

No10 swiftly stated the two women would get peerages.

But Lib Dem MP Stephen Williams said honours "should not be a consolation prize".
