A hard Brexit followed by Jeremy Corbyn becoming prime minister would leave Britain and its economy in tatters, according to a man who knows a lot about leaving Britain with no money.

Tony Blair, the last elected Labour prime minister, claims that a dose of hard-right politics followed by hard-left would leave Britain down for the count.

‘People should listen to me,’ said Blair. ‘If anyone knows how to ruin a country and its economy, it’s me. In fact I ruined several if you include all the destabilisation in the middle-east I helped promote.’

Blair has repeatedly called for a centrist party to emerge to lead Britain through tricky times.

‘Like the Lib Dems, but not a complete load of shit,’ he said.
