As a remainiac could i just say that I do not wish to be associated with the remarks of the former Labour leader, Mr Blair. Many thanks.

Tony really can't stand the simple fact that he is hated and ignored in equal measure by the British electorate.
I heard him on Radio 4 today, refusing to answer straight questions like 'Is it time to admit you got Brexit wrong' and similar questions with yes or no answers.
He prefaces a lot of answers with 'Look ... ' the hall-mark of the pompous who are not getting the questions they would like to answer, but repeated questions they would not like to answer - and don't.
As Nick Robinson dryly observed in his sign-off - Tony Blair - a man not involved in politics.'
Blair is pedalling the Labour line - we don't like the result, so we think we should grind on about 'discussions' until you all re-think and see it our way.
He is redundant, pointless, and foolish - yesterday's man with blood on his hands.
I wouldn't trust him to walk my dog round the block if I had one.

It shouldn't be that radical to suggest that maybe, if the deal on the table for leaving the EU is rotten, it might be better to stay after all. It should just be a question of where the line is drawn, rather than whether it exists. In practice, I expect that a relatively sensible deal will be reached, and the issue of reconsidering the referendum decision won't come up -- or at least, not as quickly as Tony Blair appears to be envisaging.
Jim, // It shouldn't be that radical to suggest that maybe, if the deal on the table for leaving the EU is rotten, it might be better to stay after all.//
He hasn’t put it quite that delicately though, has he. Urging Remainers to //"prise apart the alliance which gave us Brexit", declaring: "We're the insurgents now."// is pretty emotive – and dangerous – language.

Armed with the threat of a referendum, a 'deal on the table' was what Cameron went out to Europe to get, but he was totally unsuccessful.
Is there any reason in believing, that Brussels will come up with anything better, so as to make the majority of British want to stay in Europe?

Jim - as AOG pointed out, Cameron attempted to play hardball with the EU and got his bottom soundly kicked for his troubles.
Now that we have a PM who is clearly not going to be pushed around, she must know that she has to go in with that attitude firmly showing - to do less is to show weakness, and the EU will exploit it.
The way to negotiate successfully with the EU is to make a credible threat that Britain can and will take its trade elsewhere. To do any other is to be craven and look like back-pedaling.
What kind of deal would the EU do with a country desparate to stay trading with it?
Britain must say that we will negotiate, but it will not be on the EU's terms - it will be negotiated properly from our strong position.
Call Me Dave is history, there's a new sheriff in town.
