Tony Blair has said that despite his disagreements with Jeremy Corbyn, the Labour Party leader had acted “very sensibly and skilfully” in his efforts to block a no-deal Brexit.

Mr Blair also warned that a general election could lead to another hung parliament.

Writing in the Sunday Mirror, the former Prime Minister said Boris Johnson was boxed in due to his handling of the Brexit situation.

Mr Blair writes that having an election to decide on Brexit “is crazy”.

“We decided Brexit by a ­referendum. If we’re to reconsider it, do it the same way,” he said.

He added: “An election is about masses of different things and is to elect a government. Don’t muddle it up with the very specific issue of Brexit, because if we end up with another hung Parliament then nothing is resolved.”

Mr Blair said Britain had traded with its fellow European Union members for almost half a century, and described the EU as “the biggest commercial market and political alliance in the world right on our doorstep”.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
