EU warns Britain over EU elections - 'We will not be ridiculed!’

European Parliament President Antonio Tajani has gone on a scathing attack on the UK’s handling of its withdrawal from the bloc and has launched a staunch defence of the EU stating “the Parliament doesn't intend to be ridiculed by anyone”. Mr Tajani’s comments comes as Theresa May was able to ratify a “flexible” six month extension with the EU27 during the early hours of the morning in the Belgian capital. The European Parliament President said: "We can't accept that the European election be considered like a sort of game.”

As the UK could still leave the EU at any time during the extension if MPs back the Prime Minister’s withdrawal agreement, Mr Tajani insists the process will interfere with the size of the EU parliament chamber.

He said: “The Parliament could have a variable composition, 751 for a year and then 705, then three who leave, five who arrive because of uncertainty.”

He added: "We want to know what will happen and how long will last the current transition period. We want to have certainty on the composition of the Parliament in the first and second phase."
