News from the UK.  Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair in an interview stated that Brexit , the 2016 referendum to leave the European Union, has failed and Britain has ended up with mass immigration instead taking “back control" over immigration.

“We’ve swapped out younger, usually single people coming in from Europe to work in hospitality, technology and other sectors for much increased immigration from Asia and Africa,” he said.

The exclusive interview was with Geordie Greig, editor-in-chief of The Independent.  Blair highlighted the way “we have weakened ourselves” as a result of Brexit.

The interview was occasioned by the publication of Blair's book On Leadership.
