EU Parliament's Brexit negotiator says British parties must cooperate on Brexit

Britain's parties must rise above their own interests and cooperate on a Brexit solution they all support, the European Parliament's Brexit negotiator Guy Verhofstadt said on Wednesday, adding the EU would then be ready to engage with London on a new agreement.

Verhofstadt told the European Parliament a day after the British parliament decisively rejected the withdrawal deal agreed with the EU that to achieve that, Britain should change its "red lines" it set out in negotiations. (Reporting By Jan Strupczewski and Phil Blenkinsop)
