Europe's leaders have revealed frustrations about Theresa May's Government's approach to Brexit, claiming there is a lack of clarity as a result of divisions within her administration.

Antonio Tajani, European Parliament president, said the situation was "not good" and "we need to know what the UK wants to do" as he restated Brussels' demands for a financial settlement which could be as high as £53 billion (60 billion euro).

Ahead of a meeting of European leaders on Thursday, Ireland's Leo Varadkar said they were still unclear about what the UK hoped to achieve in a Brexit deal.

Mr Varadkar told BBC's Spotlight: "It is very hard for us as European prime ministers to understand exactly what the UK wants the new relationship to look like."

Mr Tajani said the UK Government was "not realistic" in its approach to the financial settlement - the so-called divorce bill - and echoed Margaret Thatcher's language when she secured the British rebate.
