Boris Johnson has attacked Tony Blair for showing "contempt" to British voters after the former Prime Minister warned the UK is heading for "Brexit at any cost".

In a keynote speech, Mr Blair urged Remain voters to "rise up" against the Government's drive for Brexit, which will cause "real damage" to Britain and the embitterment of future generations.

Speaking at the headquarters of the Bloomberg financial news agency in London where David Cameron first set out his plan for an in/out vote on Britain's EU membership, he issued a rallying cry against the referendum vote which was "based on imperfect knowledge".

Tony Blair is a proven twit! Hopefully Brits will detect the scent of patriotic nationalism and support the party of the right!
