A senior German ally of Angela Merkel has warned that Theresa May’s current approach to Brexit “will not fly” - pouring cold water over eurosceptics’ hopes that the Chancellor will cut Britain a favourable deal. Manfred Weber, the leader of the centre-right European People’s Party, the largest group in the European Parliament, accused the UK of “cherry picking” and repeated concerns that Britain had not grasped the disadvantages of leaving the bloc. “It seems to be that Great Britain is still thinking that it can follow the full cherry-picking approach,” Mr Weber, who is domestically a member of Ms Merkel’s CDU/CSU party, told reporters in Strasbourg.
