Tony Blair: UK's Brexit proposal 'doomed to fail'; Boris Johnson, "it means disaster".

From Euronews

For those who want to hear more from Tony Blair, an exclusive interview from Euronews:

"What she thinks is: look we have to do Brexit. Ok, it's not a good idea but we have to do it and therefore I am going to do the mildest version of Brexit we can in order to say to the people who voted Brexit we have done it and protect the economy...It looks like a clever compromise, but actually it's a compromise that is the worst of both worlds and will satisfy nobody; which is why by the way I don't think it will pass the House of Commons. I think Parliament will vote that down in the end."

"Up to now, the negotiation with Europe has been conducted by civil servants in a state of despair overseen by politicians in a state of denial," he said.

He said the prime minister was "more hostage than leader" because of divisions in her party and the Labour leader is "neglecting to lead the fight"

"We should plan now for the possibility we need to extend the March 2019 deadline," he said.

"Presently, we are drifting... with no clear negotiating position, no resolution of the Northern Ireland question, still vaguely hoping Europe will allow us access to the single market without abiding by its rules, which it will never do."
