French President Emmanuel Macron has warned that Britain will not be able to 'cherry-pick' the parts of the EU it prefers following Brexit, Daily Mail reported.

Although the leader opened the door to a bespoke trade deal with the UK, he insisted full access to the single market without accepting its rules was 'not feasible'.

In an interview with Andrew Marr he was asked whether a special trade agreement with Britain was possible. He explained that while it was on the cards Britain would have to first accept certain 'preconditions' in order to benefit from the single market.

He said: "Sure, but ... this special way should be consistent with the preservation of the single market and our collective interests.

"And you should understand that you cannot, by definition, have the full access to the single market if you don't tick the box."
