Well I wouldn't normally recommend that anyone should resort to the far-right Daily Express (way back in the sixties my dad called it the Daily Liar), but Blair is saying we will just have to make the best of it if we do end up leaving the EU, which is, as even that article makes clear, the last thing he wants. He sez that it would be like a top-six Premier League team suddenly being relegated to the Championship (the old Division Two to you non-footie types). Don't be misled. Put a clothes peg on your nose, read the Express piece for yourself and see what Blair ACTUALLY said. Then we can properly talk about it, if we want to.
