Tony Blair is fed up

Interesting times indeed.

Tony Blair has said it is his "mission" to persuade Britons to "rise up" and change their minds on Brexit. Speaking in the City of London, the former prime minister claimed that people voted in the referendum "without knowledge of the true terms of Brexit". He urged "a way out from the present rush over the cliff's edge". Former Tory leader Iain Duncan Smith said the comments were arrogant and undemocratic but Lib Dem Nick Clegg said he "agreed with every word".

[How in God's name is it undemocratic if people change their minds ? If democracy really does deliver sensible choices, then it stands to reason that it ought to deliver the same results consistently. To ask people to ignore changing evidence - that's undemocratic.]

In the absence of an effective opposition, he said pro-Europeans needed to build a "movement " reaching across party lines, he said, adding the institute he is launching would play its part in developing the arguments to rethink the country's position. "The debilitation of the Labour Party is the facilitator of Brexit. I hate to say that, but it is true."
