Tony Blair says Brexit issue has tempted him to return to politics

The former Labour prime minister, Tony Blair, has urged voters not to vote for general election candidates who "back Brexit at any cost".

Speaking to The World This Weekend on Radio 4, Mr Blair said Brexit was bigger than party allegiance.

He described Theresa May as "a perfectly decent person" but said her policy on leaving the EU was "not reasonable" and he said he felt so strongly about the issue he was tempted to return to politics.
