By the time the realities of Brexit hits the UK, there will be a change of mind to go back to the EU – Tony Blair

Following the prediction by some EU leaders stating that the UK will one day come re-join the EU, a prominent politician and one time Prime Minister Tony Blair has also made similar comment saying that his country will have a change of mind along the line, perhaps when the reality of Brexit hits them, as opposed to the several lies and propaganda spread by Farage and his cohorts.

Speaking on The Andrew Marr Show, the former Prime Minister stated the British people still may change their minds over the “tragedy” of Brexit.

He said: “My view is very simply I agree at the moment the argument for many people is over.

“But if, as you go down this path, the British people realise three things that I think it could change.

“One, that the gain is actually losery, two, that the pain is very substantial, and three, that the distraction from the Government and the country in the meantime is enormous, when there are these real big challenges, on the economy, in healthcare, education, immigration, are not being dealt with.” 

The presenter questioned Mr Blair whether he was calling for another referendum.

The 63-year-old former Prime Minister claimed that he was “not suggesting that at this point” but argued that could change if constituents begin putting their MPs under pressure over Brexit.

He also said: “With people saying, ‘hang on I didn’t know this is what it meant’.

“One of the things I have done in the last few months is talk to a range of people, if it is permissible to still talk to experts.

“I didn’t understand how complicated this is going to be. If they [the Government] are going to try and deliver exactly the same benefits, as we have now in the single market and the customs union this is an endeavour of unparalleled complexity.”

The former Prime Minister added that he thought another referendum was “possible” but he admitted he didn't “put it higher than that.”

Marr asked whether Mr Blair was suggesting that there would be a rebellion across the country with changing views.

Mr Blair said: “People start to think, ‘is this really going to be the thing that is going to be important’.

“Then when you look at Scotland you see another strain on the constitution of the country as a result.”

The former Prime Minister finished by launching an attack on the current Labour Party leader suggesting the party’s views needed to be clear, before he claimed the UK needed to reform within Europe.
