EU elections: Cable says Remain parties 'shouldn't be squabbling'

Lib Dem leader Vince Cable says he was in favour of working with other Remain parties to present a 'common front' at the European elections. The pro-EU MP told LBC Radio he had approached the Green Party and Change UK to suggest joint candidates. He said the parties 'shouldn't be squabbling', but added: 'Frankly, we didn't get a very warm reception.' The Greens say joint lists are not 'desirable' and Change UK has said an alliance 'wasn't ever on the agenda'. Elections for 73 MEPs to the European Parliament will take place on 23 May.
