Your question suggests he had some to begin with, emmie.

Tony Blair has said it is his "mission" to persuade Britons to "rise up" and change their minds on Brexit.

will you rise up?

he was voted in three times, so to those who did, he must have had at the time.

And I forgot to add that the BBC report is over a month old. Mr & Mrs Blair have probably been busy acquiring another property or two in that time. Mrs Blair was recently "gazumped" when trying to buy a desirable £3m town house in Central London which she "had planned to give to her daughter" (as you do). Apparently she was outbid by somebody called Talulah Riley, whom I am led to believe is "famous".

I imagine Mr Blair's plans for a popular uprising have been put on the back-burner for a while.

I'm ashamed to admit that I helped to vote him in back in the day and no, I definitely will not 'rise up' ...

Like so many EUphiles, Saint Tony cannot comprehend that the little people have given the wrong answer. He still thinks he's in a dream and if he clicks his heels together 3 times he's wake up and it'll all be a bad dream. No I'm not rising up!

Does anyone know who is paying him to do this? I think the sum will be considerable.

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".

It's tragic that people become mentally unbalanced and can think that they are God.

Consequently as I do Not believe in God, it must follow that Tony Blair is someone whom I am devoid of any faith.

“…the former prime minister claimed that people voted in the referendum "without knowledge of the true terms of Brexit".”

And of course he’s absolutely correct. They were not asked about the terms; they were simply asked whether they’d like to leave or remain. Those who voted to leave must have considered that there would be a wide range of options on which we would negotiate. Personally I’d like a complete break, with no association with the EU whatsoever, so “special arrangements” (which would almost certainly see us beholden to that wretched organisation in some way). In short I’d like us to revert to being a “normal” country. Countless other countries trade with the EU (which seems to be all anybody is interested in) without any special trade deals and without having to comply with any of the EU’s rules which are not related to the trade they are doing. Most importantly they are not subject to any EU legislation over which they have virtually no control and which is adjudicated upon by a foreign court. They seem to manage quite well, some of them very well. I realise I might not get that but I’ll be extremely disappointed (and I won’t be alone) if our leaving is “fudged” so as to leave us under any sort of EU control or subject to any EU legislation.

There's talk of invoking laws passed in Henry VIIIs reign to convert EU law into British law. No one saw that coming. Apparently the Lib Dems are going to object to that (yawn).
