Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair has said the Brexit deal, approved by the European Council on Sunday, is a dodo.
TheNewsGuru (TNG) reports the former Prime Minister stated this while speaking on Marr on Sunday morning.
“The problem is, the deal’s a dodo,” Blair stated, while stressing that he has respect for Prime Minister Theresa May.
“The central question here is if it’s not a deal which satisfies the people who voted Brexit, why on earth are we doing it?
“The only way you’re going to unite the country is to take it back to the people. The Prime Minister’s deal has only succeeded in uniting people in opposition to it,” he further stated.
In an article, Blair had earlier said the departure of Britain from the European Union (EU) will diminish the weight of Europe.
“Since the referendum, we have had 2 and a half years of negotiation and discovered there are many varieties of Brexit.
“The choice is between a painful Brexit and a pointless Brexit – that’s the issue we’ve had the whole way through. This isn’t what the people who voted to Leave voted for,” he said.
