Tony Blair is tempted to return to frontline politics. The reason? To stop Brexit
The former prime minister Tony Blair, who said he will vote Labour, desires to return to frontline politics as Britain is being “hijacked” by Brexit supporters.
“I feel for the first time since I first came into politics, I look at the British political scene at the moment and I actually almost feel motivated to go right back into it.” Blair told BBC Radio 4.
Blair admits he “agrees with a lot” of what Theresa May says, including on an energy price cap, but he also warns she is not being reasonable when it comes to Brexit.

“I just feel we’re allowing ourselves to be hijacked by what is actually quite a small group of people with a very strong ideology. Someone like Theresa May, you look at her and she’s very sensible, very solid, she’s a perfectly decent person, I agree with a lot of what she says – what she says about energy costs today, most people would say ‘fair enough’.” said Tony Blair, cited by Metro.
“But on this issue, which is the biggest issue of our time and which will have a dramatic impact on our future, on our economy, on our living standards and on the younger people of this country, on this issue she’s not reasonable.” he added.
