Senior Labour MPs are clamouring to join the American presidential campaign of John Kerry this summer in a direct snub to the alliance between Tony Blair and President George W. Bush.

The avowed intent of a dozen MPs to dislodge Mr Bush threatens to embarrass Mr Blair at a difficult time in the war against terrorism. Yesterday one of the Labour MPs denounced Mr Bush as "a complete and utter menace to the future security of the world".

The group, which includes the former ministers Nick Brown and George Mudie, close friends of Gordon Brown, the Chancellor, is in talks with Mr Kerry's team with a view to campaigning on a freelance basis. Their plans are a problem for Mr Blair because he had hoped to reposition himself to prepare for the possibility of a Kerry victory with more subtlety.

Mr Salter said: "I personally regard George Bush as a complete and utter menace to the future security of the world and the sooner he is out of office the better. I don't think you would find the Labour Party in Parliament or the country awash with George Bush supporters."
