Tony Blair has issued the Tories a warning: block Brexit or face a Corbyn government. The comments, made during a speech at Speaker\u2019s House, have caused many online to question if he should retain Labour Party membership.<\/p>\n
The ex-PM is renowned for his constant, outspoken opposition to Brexit. Last night, he rehashed previous calls for a second referendum to allow Britons to have the final say as to whether or not the United Kingdom exits the bloc.<\/p>\n
In a speech in Parliament at Speaker\u2019s House on Monday, Blair gave a warning to the Conservatives that left many on social media wondering where the former prime minister\u2019s allegiances actually lie.<\/p>\n

Will the free trade agreements be stacking up?<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThe 17m who voted \u2018Leave\u2019 may be short on gratitude. The 16m who voted \u2018Remain\u2019 will be unlikely to forget. Remember that 13m wins an election.
