  David Cameron: I would never work with those who sneer at activists
  
  Prime minister sends personal note to party members as senior figure claims he is 'worse than John Major'
  
  David Cameron, who could face a confidence vote if the chairman of the Tory 1922 committee receives
  
  enough letters demanding one.
  
  David Cameron moved to repair relations with a bruised Conservative party by emailing a "personal note" to
  
  all members in which he said he would never work with anyone who "sneered" at activists.
  
  But senior figures indicated that the chairman of the Conservative backbench 1922 committee, Graham Brady
  
  , was expected to receive further letters calling for a confidence vote. Brady, who is understood to have
  
  been sent a limited number in recent months, will have to call a vote if he receives at least 46.
  
  One senior figure said: "This is worse than John Major. There was quite a lot of sympathy for him
  
  because of the Maastricht rebels. He also listened, though he probably listened too much.
  
  With Cameron it feels like this could be terminal - and will be so before the election."
