Theresa May's Brexit plans have been branded "unacceptable bulls***" by the mastermind of the Vote Leave campaign.

Dominic Cummings, a former special adviser to Cabinet minister Michael Gove, criticised a "truck load of c*** ideas" from the Government as he demanded a rethink by Downing Street.

The director of the official Brexit campaign during the EU referendum, Mr Cummings focused his anger on the Prime Minister's proposal to withdraw from the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom).

In a series of strongly-worded Twitter posts, Mr Cummings described Government "morons" wanting to leave Euratom as part of "huge misjudgements" by the Conservatives as to what the EU referendum was about.

Founded in 1957, Euratom governs the peaceful use of nuclear energy within the EU and is governed by the European Court of Justice (ECJ).

It has been suggested the involvement of European judges is behind the Prime Minister's motivation for quitting Euratom, with Mrs May having promised to end the jurisdiction of the ECJ over the UK.

But Mr Cummings suggested the role of the ECJ in Euratom was no significant problem because the nuclear agreement was formed under "different treaties".

The former Vote Leave chief urged senior Tories such as Environment Secretary Mr Gove or Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson - the pair he worked with during the EU referendum - to tell Mrs May and Brexit Secretary David Davis their plan is "UNACCEPTABLE BULLS*** & must be ditched".

He called for "truck loads of c***ideas" from Mrs May's "shambolic" opening nine months in Number 10 to be scrapped during the first fortnight of August.

Liberal Democrat leadership contender Sir Vince Cable said: "Even the leading architect of the Leave campaign now believes Theresa May's Brexit plans are too extreme.

"This problem has only arisen because of her dogmatic obsession with leaving the jurisdiction of the ECJ.

"Any international agreement will need a dispute resolution mechanism, and it seems the only issue the Tories have with the ECJ is that it has the word Europe in front of it."

A Government spokesperson said: "The UK supports Euratom and will want to see continuity of co-operation and standards.

"We remain absolutely committed to the highest standards of nuclear safety, safeguards and support for the industry.

"Our aim is clear we want to maintain our mutually successful civil nuclear co-operation with the EU."

The PM is already facing pressure over her plan to quit Euratom from her own Tory MPs, with former Conservative minister Ed Vaizey co-authoring a Sunday newspaper article condemning the move.

, while veteran Conservative Ken Clarke has already rebelled over the issue.

Just seven Conservatives need to rebel to defeat the Government's fragile majority in the House of Commons, even with the support of the DUP, suggesting Mrs May is likely to face a fierce battle over Euratom in Brexit legislation.

It has been reported ministers are already drawing up plans to head off a potential rebellion on the issue of nuclear regulation.

Mrs May has also signalled Britain will seek a close post-Brexit relationship with Euratom similar to that enjoyed by other countries outside the EU.

Mr Cummings previously worked at the Department for Education with Mr Gove before he led Vote Leave's campaign, during which he survived a bid to force him out by Tory MPs.

Earlier this month, Mr Davis's former chief of staff James Chapman because of the Prime Minister's "absolutist position on the European Court".
