RECONSIDER BREXIT PLANS, FORMER PM BLAIR SAYS

-

Former British prime minister Tony Blair launched a campaign Friday to persuade the U.K. to rethink its decision to leave the European Union.

Blair argued that the Conservati­ve government’s drive to leave the EU “at any cost” will hurt future generation­s and damage the unity of the country itself.

Last year’s vote was “based on imperfect knowledge” and Britons made their decision without knowing the true terms of Brexit, he said in a speech in London.
