Britain will return to the EU in the future, says Tony Blair

Sir Tony Blair is a prominent member of the Lost Campaign. The United Kingdom will return to the European Union in the future as a new poll shows support for reunification with the bloc hit a five-year high.

The former Labor prime minister told the New Statesman magazine that Next Generation will take the UK «back to Europe.

The comments came as Deltapoll released a poll that showed a surge in support for EU reunification.

The company's latest poll, taken from 21 to 24 July, found that 56% of people would vote for EU reunification if a second membership referendum would be held.

This number is up four points from the previous poll. was held from 14 to 17 July.

About 38% of the people, down three points, said they would vote to stay out of the bloc.

Deltapoll stated that this was the highest level of support for rejoining the block recorded since the poll began. on this issue back in September 2018.

'The future generation will return to the EU'

During an interview with Andrew Marr, Sir Tony was asked if he sees a realistic prospect of the UK returning to the EU or joining customs union or single market.

He replied: «Well, I believe that at some point the future generation will bring Britain back to Europe, and, you know, you just have to see what happened.»< /p>

Sir Tony, a prominent member of the Remain campaign. , described Brexit as «a permanent sadness for me.»

Peter Bone, a leading Tory Brexiter, said «over 17 million people» disagreed with Sir Tony in the 2016 EU referendum, and comments showed the former premier was 'out of touch'.

«Since then we have stopped the free movement of people, we are not paying billions of pounds to the EU and we are making our own laws,» Mr Bone said.

“I think he lost touch with the British people. ”

Labour will not cancel Brexit

Sir Tony’s comments will be seen as useless by Sir Keir Starmer, who has repeatedly stated that the Labor government will not cancel Brexit.

Sir Keir said in May of this year «the future of Britain lies outside the EU» as he ruled out membership in the single market or customs union. He said such arguments «are a thing of the past where they belong.»

Sir Keir said the Labor government would seek to «improve» the current UK-Brussels divorce deal in an attempt to «make Brexit work». ”.

However, Conservative MPs said the plan to renegotiate negotiations with Brussels showed that Sir Keir “cannot be trusted on the Brexit issue”, and he planned to secretly return the UK to the bloc.
