'Tony Blair said on Sunday he was trying to reverse Brexit because claims by the leave campaign, such as the National Health Service getting an extra £350 million a week once Britain leaves the EU, have been proved false.
The former prime minister told the BBC that the government aims in the Brexit negotiations will fail because it wants to leave the single market, but retain all of the benefits, and voters can change their minds.
"It's reversible. It's not done until it's done," he said, rejecting the argument that he was defying the will of the people. "When the facts change, I think people are entitled to change their mind."
Asked if his purpose in relation to Brexit was to reverse it, Blair replied: “Yes, exactly so.”
Mr Blair warned that the European Union could not allow the continued free flow of goods across the Irish border if Britain was outside the single market and the customs union.'
