A series of informal but concerted efforts by pro-remain politicians to reshape or even derail the Brexit process is under way and gaining momentum, according to people involved. However, those connected to efforts by serving pro-remain MPs say the former prime ministers’ views had little support in the Commons. “It’s a long process of gradually bringing people round to our way of thinking, on all sides,” said someone who works closely with pro-remain figures. Blair, in particular, is known to be sounding out opinion on Brexit as part of his re-emergence into political life. Serving MPs from all parties are known to be having regular, if informal, meetings and discussions about the Brexit process.
