Options must stay open on Brexit - Tony Blair
The UK should keep its "options open" over Brexit, Tony Blair has said, adding that he does not rule out another referendum on the subject.
The former prime minister told BBC Radio 4`s Today programme it was vital to study the "real-life implications".

Mr Blair said he respected the verdict of June`s referendum, but recommended looking again at Brexit when "we have a clear sense of where we`re going".

He added that the British people could "have a change of mind".

The UK government says it will not provide a "running commentary" on its stance before negotiations for leaving the European Union begin next year.

Mr Blair was prime minister between 1997 and 2007. After stepping down, he served as a Middle East envoy for eight years.

He announced last month that he was winding up most of his commercial ventures to focus on not-for-profit work.
