Tony Blair has said that he feels so "passionate" about blocking a hard Brexit that he is considering a return to front-line politics.

The former Prime Minister said that Theresa May is on course for a landslide majority and suggested that Jeremy Corbyn stands no chance of becoming Prime Minister.

He said that he wants to add a "new dimension" to the election by encouraging voters to support candidates who do not back a hard Brexit, even if they are Liberal Democrat or Tory.
