Tony Blair heads new pro-European Union movement

The outlines of a post-Brexit referendum political realignment in Britain are becoming clearer, centred on efforts to forge a cross-party alliance of pro-European Union (EU) forces.
The efforts of its leading proponents to advance themselves as a “progressive” alternative to the pro-Brexit forces, dominated by the right wing of the Conservative Party, are exposed to devastating effect by the leading role being played by former Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair.
Last weekend, the Sunday Times reported that Blair was “positioning himself to play a pivotal role in shaping Britain’s Brexit deal” and had described Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn as “a nutter” and Conservative Prime Minister Theresa May as “a lightweight.” On Monday, Blair confirmed that he was forming a new organisation dedicated to opposing “resurgent populism” and returning politics to the “centre-ground.”
