Vince Cable has warned that Europe could be plunged into war if the crisis in the eurozone results in the collapse of the currency.

The Liberal Democrat Business Secretary said that the potential consequences of the failure of the Euro were “incalculable” and that there was “no automatic guarantee” that the continent would not disintegrate into conflict.
