Blair veut organiser la lutte contre le Brexit,  il demande un nouveau referendum. A la radio il a déclaré »nous sommes les insurgés maintenant ».

Le gouvernement a réaffirmé qu’il n’y aurait pas de second referendum.

Tony Blair has received a predictably dismissive government response to his call for remain voters to organise their opposition to Brexit, with No 10 saying there would be no second referendum.

Reaction to Blair’s article and subsequent radio interview – in which he said of those who opposed leaving the EU, “We are the insurgents now” – was more scathing elsewhere, with one Tory MP calling the former prime minister a “snake-oil salesman”.

In his first major intervention on Brexit since the referendum campaign, Blair called for a new movement born from the 48% of the electorate who wanted to remain in the EU, saying: “We have to build the capability to mobilise and to organise.”

Writing in the New European, Blair said: “The issue is not whether we ignore the will of the people, but whether, as information becomes available, and facts take the place of claims, the ‘will’ of the people shifts. Maybe it won’t, in which case people like me will have to accept it.
