Tony Blair indicates stopping Brexit more important than Labour election win in UK

Stopping Brexit is a more important priority than Labour winning the next election in Britain, former British prime minister Tony Blair suggested as he criticised the party's strategy under Jeremy Corbyn.

The ex-premier said Labour was "in the same position as the Tories" on Brexit but if it came out in opposition to leaving the European Union it would not only "be saying what's right" it would also expose the divisions within the Conservative ranks.
