Tony Blair brands Corbyn a "nutter" as he lines up shock return to UK politics

TONY Blair is plotting a shock return to the political fray in the wake of Brexit, it has been claimed.

The former Prime Minister is said to be unimpressed with current premier Theresa May, reportedly branding her "a lightweight", while current Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is "a nutter" according to a source close to the 63-year-old.

Blair is now said to be seeking new offices in Westminster for himself and his 130 staff, a power base close to Whitehall from where he can influence negotiations over the UK's departure from the EU.

He has also allegedly held conversations with former chancellor and fellow Remainer George Osborne about post-Brexit Britain.

One source told the Sunday Times that Blair wants to rebrand himself as global statesman in the "Henry Kissenger mould", after his reputation was severley dented by the Chilcot Inquiry into the Iraq invasion.

Another insider told the paper: “He’s not impressed with Theresa May.

"He thinks she’s a total lightweight. He thinks Jeremy Corbyn’s a nutter and the Tories are screwing up Brexit.

"He thinks there’s a massive hole in British politics that he can fill.”

PLEASE SAY IT IS NOT TRUE
