Ex PM Blair suggests new referendum as UK's only way out of Brexit

Davos, Jan 24 (UNI) Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair said on Thursday that the only way out of the impasse on Brexit is a new referendum in the country.
"You know my position. I've said it out a thousand times. We have come to a different position. And I think the only solution is to go back to the people now. Because there is a deadlock in Parliament, the deal that the prime minister [Theresa May] is proposing is not a good deal. So the most sensible thing is to go back to the people for the final resolution," Blair said on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum, which is currently underway in the Swiss resort city of Davos, reported RIA Novosti
Last week, the withdrawal deal agreed by London and the European Union was voted down in the UK House of Commons, forcing the government to hold a series of cross-party talks to try to reach a consensus. On Monday, UK Prime Minister Theresa May set out her plan B to break the deadlock but said she could not take a no-deal Brexit off the table.
