Blair: Scottish indepence now more credible

UNREPENTANT warmonger Tony Blair warned that Scottish independence was “much more credible” in the wake of Britain’s vote to leave the European Union.

Speaking at a London event for Open Britain — which campaigns for Britain to stay in the single market — the former PM also urged Remainers to “rise up” to stop Britain leaving the EU.

Mr Blair said he wanted Scotland to stay part of the UK, but warned that Scottish independence was “back on the table, but this time with a context much more credible.”
