Tony Blair interview soundbite on Populism in politics

CLEAN: Shows interior shots interview soundbite with former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair speaking on similarities between support for Trump on the right and Corbyn on the Left. QUOTE: "Well I think the populism of the left and right are two different facets of the same phenomenon. Which is that people do feel angry, they do feel insecure. This generation does not feel that the next generation will do better than them, so that generational promise that's at the heart of Western Politics is absent, but the fact is neither's an answer. . . Sure we should have controls on immigration . . but being anti-immigrant in today's world, it's ridiculous. . . this is the 21st Century. So when people say to me well these policies are popular, what I say is I'm not sure they're quite as popular as you think they are, but let's assume you're right, it doesn't make them correct I'm afraid." Tony Blair has said today"it's possible" that Brexit won't happen and believes it is "absolutely necessary" that it shouldn't go ahead. The former prime minister says he thinks EU leaders would be prepared to give ground on key issues, to keep Britain in the EU. He also said he believes public opinion is changing now that the difficulties of Brexit negotiations are clear on 15th July, 2017 in London, United Kingdom
