David Cameron is probably "regretting" trying to renegotiate Britain's terms of EU membership, Eurosceptic Conservative MEP Dan Hannan has said, and suggested he would have been "better off" holding a snap vote instead.

"What he's done is to raise and dash expectations," Mr Hannan told the Daily Politics.

He said people will have seen the PM touring EU capitals "begging for the right to tweak his own welfare changes, and still being denied", and added: "That's not the leader of an independent country."

He said if this is how the UK is being treated now, what would happen if the country voted to leave the bloc.
