Tony Blair is urging Labour and Jeremy Corbyn to fight against Brexit
^The same Tony Bliar that had repeatedly slated Corbyn in the past as a useless leader etc is now trying to suck up to him & how many times has Blair come out against Brexit over the past year or so (I kind of get the feeling he is shouting in an empty room & just keeps repeating himself hoping someone outside is listening).
The problem with Blair is that he has no political credibility or any credibility for that fact (look at the millions he's squirreled away since he quit) & would only harden the resolve of people who voted leave.Blair would be wise to step outside the Metropolitan bubble or even the M25 zone & speak to the constituencies that voted Leave (2/3 of Labour constituencies voted leave) & engage with those people & tell them they voted wrongly in his eyes.
Blair actually admitted in an interview on Radio 4 with John Humphries that if the UK voted Leave on a second referendum that he wouldn't rule out a third one so Blair would endorse a Never-Rendum & doesn't do democracy.
And with regards to that old relic Michael Hesseltine who they dug out the ground a few weeks ago to talk about Labour getting into power being a good thing to stop Brexit probably didn't disclose the small fact that he has received over a million pounds in EU Farming Subsidies for the land he owns in the past.This turkey defifintely doesn't want to vote for Christmas.

I think it's just possible that if he HAD said that, it would be reported as such. In fact, he's still slagging Corbyn off for not doing what Blair wants, even though more people have voted for Corbyn lately than have voted for Blair.
If Blair really wanted to stop Brexit, he'd swallow his pride and admit millions hate his warmongering, hypocritical guts, and then start bigging Brexit up
Support would drop like a stone.
As it is, he's just a publicity-seeker using his residual status as a former PM to get his every utterance on the news, especially when it suits the establishment.
So Royal Mail are not reportedly marking Brexit with a special stamp...
I Wonder how many of RM bosses voted Leave but don't want to admit it?
why on earth would you produce a stamp commemorating Brexit?
There was one issued in 1973 when we joined so why shouldn't there be one for leaving?
Becoming a member of a club is usually an event, leaving one isnt
Farage is meeting Barnier next week.
Perhaps because the "official" UKIP leader is too busy with his new fancy woman...
