Theresa May has hit out at the suggestion from Tony Blair that there could be a second referendum.

The former Prime Minister gave an interview with the BBC this morning in which he suggested Britain should keep its "options open" over Brexit and that might mean a second referendum.

He said it may be a chance to reverse the Brexit “catastrophe”.

Writing in the New European newspaper this morning he told Remain voters "we're the insurgents now" and urged them to persuade Brexit supporters that the country is better off staying in the European Union.

But a Prime Minister's spokesman said: "The PM has been absolutely clear - the British people have spoken, we are listening, we're going to leave the European Union.

"And not only has the PM been clear here but she's also been clear when she's met European leaders.

"There will be no second referendum, Britain is leaving the European Union."

Downing Street also brushed off concerns about Mr Blair communicating his views with the French President.

Adding: "Tony Blair is entitled to put his views to whom he so chooses. Tony Blair speaks for himself. "
