Quote:
Labour "pursued a path of almost comic indecision" over Brexit during the election and "alienated both sides of the debate", Tony Blair has said.
In a speech in London, the ex-PM said he believed the party could have kept much of the vote in traditional Labour areas under a different leadership.
The situation was "made impossible by failure to take a clear position and to stick to it", Mr Blair said.
"The result has brought shame on us. We let our country down," he added.
Jeremy Corbyn told MPs on Tuesday that he "took responsibility" for Labour's worst electoral performance, in terms of seats won, since 1935.
He has said he will stand down as leader "early next year".

I should imagine Blair took great delight in sticking the boot in and love him or hate him he is well qualified being one of if not the most successful Labour leaders in the parties history.
