Tony Blair’s former chief of staff told the BBC tonight that there should be another referendum before Britain is allowed to leave the EU, an immediate sign that the political class will try to sabotage the Brexit vote.

Appearing on BBC Newsnight, Jonathan Powell, who currently serves as the UK’s special envoy to Libya, argued that Brits should be made to vote on leaving the EU again despite the ‘Vote Leave’ campaign already winning yesterday’s referendum.

This would also allow an opposition party like Labour the chance to run in a general election on a platform that promised to cancel Britain’s exit from the European Union before it happened.

I predicted there would almost immediately be an effort to sabotage the democratic will of the British people in the following video posted earlier today.

“They’ll either try to offer Britain a “new deal” to stay in the EU, or just make us vote in another referendum until they get the result they want,” I remarked.
