European Parliament negotiator warns Britain's May against Brexit 'illusion'

STRASBOURG (Reuters) - The European Parliament's Brexit negotiator said on Tuesday it was an "illusion" to think that Britain could enjoy the advantages of the European Union's single market without accepting the obligations that come with it.

The negotiator, Guy Verhofstadt, also said the EU would not accept a Brexit deal that would leave Britain better off than a full membership of the bloc.
