EU leaders to give UK control over immigration to prevent Brexit: Blair

Former British PM says leaving the single market was a 'damaging position' shared by Labour party

European Union (EU) leaders would be prepared to be flexible on freedom of movement of people to accommodate the UK after Brexit, according to former British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

Reform is now on Europe's agenda. The European leaders, certainly from my discussions, are willing to consider changes to accommodate Britain, including around freedom of movement. Yet this option is excluded," the former prime minister added.

Blair's article is the latest intervention from the former prime minister, who has previously said Brexit was an issue he felt so strongly about, that it tempted him to return to politics.
