EPP leader Manfred Weber says the UK is “descending into chaos” and has warned that the “clock is ticking” on its decision to leave the EU.

Speaking in Strasbourg, the German MEP reacted to the outcome of last week’s election in the UK which resulted in a hung parliament by telling reporters: “London is sinking into chaos  and the stability that Theresa May sought in calling the early election has not come about.

“Unfortunately, the UK will clearly not have more instability and the election result will also have negative consequences for the Brexit talks.”

Weber also attacked plans by the Tories to enter into an informal agreement with the DUP, and added: “The Brexit negotiations will need a wide and major consensus and the DUP will not be a good source of advice and should therefore not be allowed to be involved.”

On the Brexit process, Weber, speaking in parliament, said: “Time is marching forward and it is in the interests of the UK to come together as soon as possible.”
