While I agree with his goals (I've argued before that the British parliament is under no obligation to respect a non-binding referendum and in fact should not), Tony Blair, really? If there's a second referendum do you really want Tony Blair leading the Remain side?

He's mainly just incompetent in general, but I don't think he's being deliberately dishonest here.

Wasn't that exactly what happened with Brexit?
I assume this means there will be a second referendum on Brexit when the final details become known?
