Allowing UK to take part in EU elections 'a step too far', says EPP leader

Britain will be blocked from taking part in the upcoming EU elections, one of Europe's most influential politicians has suggested.

Leader of the European People's Party (EPP) Manfred Weber has cast serious doubts on a long Brexit extension after he said allowing the UK to take part in May's European Elections would be a step too far and countries have already made significant compromises.
