Tony Blair is becoming less popular after voicing his views on Brexit

Tony Blair is becoming less popular with the UK public because of his Brexit interventions, a poll has revealed.

The former prime minister made a speech last week attacking the British government’s EU exit strategy.

He said Brexit could be averted with another referendum, this time on the deal reached with the European Union.

But Mr Blair’s opinions have done little to help his popularity with the British public, a survey by ComRes and the Sunday Mirror showed.

They asked almost 1,100 adults for their views on Brexit after hearing speeches on the subject last week by former prime ministers Mr Blair and Sir John Major, as well as current prime minister Theresa May and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.

Those who took part in the survey where asked if their opinion of the four figures had improved, got worse or stayed the same after their speeches on Brexit.

Unfortunately for Mr Blair, he came out the least popular, as 37% said they thought less of him after his speech, compared to 29% for Mr Corbyn and 27% for both Mrs May and Sir John.

Only 4% said their opinion of Mr Blair had changed for the better, compared to 13% for Mr Corbyn, 9% for Mrs May and 12% for Sir John.

As for Brexit itself, only 8% said they feel more optimistic about what will happen, with 37% saying they are less optimistic after last week.

Mr Blair said last week he believed there was a 50% chance that Brexit would not happen.
