Boris Johnson has accused Tony Blair of insulting British voters after the former Prime Minister urged people to "rise up" against Brexit.

The Foreign Secretary urged people to "rise up and turn off the TV" the next time that Mr Blair makes an appeal to the public as he insisted that the UK has a "phenomenal future" outside the EU.

It came after Mr Blair called on pro-Europeans to form a new cross-party movement to persuade the public they were wrong to vote to leave the EU.

The former Prime Minister said "progressives" should make it their "mission" to reverse the outcome of the referendum last June.
