Obama snubs Cameron over Syria as Tories accuse the White House of trying to rush the UK into military action

            Glum: David Cameron looks downbeat as he sits through the early stages of the two-day G20 Summit in Constantine Palace in Strelna near St Petersburg
David Cameron will be left in the margins of the G20 meeting in Russia today after failing to secure a one-on-one meeting with Barack Obama.
The US President has refused to hold a formal meeting with the British PM who has ruled out joining military intervention in Syria.
It comes as senior Tory minister Ken Clarke accused the White House of rushing Britain into making a decision on supporting missile strikes – which led to the historic Commons defeat of the government
World leaders gather in St Petersburg today for the meeting of the G20, with Mr Cameron warning it would be ‘very perilous’ for the United States to follow Britain’s example and step back from plans to hit Damascus in response to chemical weapons attacks.
However the White House is reported to have grown irritated with the way the British government failed to deliver on promises to stand should to shoulder with the US
