Tony Blair has admitted he now believes Jeremy Corbyn could become PM - as he warned a shift to the 'hard left' after Brexit could smash the economy.
The Labour former premier said he had been forced to re-evaluate his view that elections could only be won from the centre ground in the wake of the party's advance on June 8.
But he raised fears that Mr Corbyn's 'unreconstructed' policies of hiking taxes as we leave the EU would bring the country to its knees.
The comments came as Mr Blair made his latest intervention into domestic politics, after urging politicians to fight to reverse the historic referendum vote.
