Blair confident UK will be a ‘serious country’
Tony Blair is confident that Britain will get back on its feet and be a “serious country again” after Brexit.
The former Labour prime minister said he was determined to be part of the debate as he passionately believes Brexit is a mistake.
Speaking at the Global Education and Skills Forum in Dubai, Mr Blair was asked whether Theresa May will last to the end of the week as leader of the country.
Mr Blair replied: “I have done the job of being prime minister, and I know how difficult it is. Frankly, she doesn’t need me making it any more difficult in this particular moment in time.”
He added: “The one thing I do say to everyone though is that my country is going through a really difficult period, that’s for
sure, but don’t write us off. It has been a big mess, we are in a lot of trouble, it has evoked a national crisis.
“But I absolutely promise you one way or another – I obviously have very strong views about Brexit – but whatever happens on Brexit, one way or another Britain will get back on its feet again, will be a serious country again. We will sort ourselves out.”
