Tony Blair is set to provoke a furious political row by calling on opponents of Brexit to "rise up" and persuade voters to change their mind about leaving the EU.
In a rallying cry to pro-EU MPs and peers, the former Prime Minister will accuse Theresa May of pursuing Brexit "at any cost" and warn it could lead to Scottish independence.
Mr Blair, who wants a second referendum and has pledged to campaign to keep the UK in the EU, will deliver his latest attack on Brexit in a powerful speech to Remain supporters.
His speech will also been seen as a signal that he would like to create a new pro-Remain political party made up of Blairites, Liberal Democrats and even some pro-EU Conservatives.

What a douche nozzle, even most of the a-holes over there like Corbyn recognize you have to respect the referendum.
It would be suicidal for Labour to do otherwise.
Blair? Hero? Lol he’s the bill Clinton of the UK.
“How quickly we forget his heroism.”
Where was this heroism when he squashed investigations into pedophiles? Somehow pedophiles always get a pass.
He received the Congressional Gold Medal.
He was celebrated as a hero and friend of the USA on Free Republic just a few years ago.
I rest my case.
This guy received the highest civil award made by the USA - the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He also received the Congressional Gold Medal. He was celebrated as a hero and friend of the USA on Free Republic just a few years ago.
How quickly some of use ignore a man's heroic achievements and try to stain his fine reputation with wicked lies just because we don't agree with his political views. Disgraceful. You should be ashamed of yourself.
