In my opinion Tony Blair is one of the three great prime ministers the U.K. has had the others being Thatcher and Churchill yes they all made mistakes that cost lives in their past Blair with Iraq, Thatcher being lucky with the Falklands war and Poll tax and Churchill with Black and Tans and Gallipoli amoungst other mistakes. We should all celebrate what they achieved for Britain and not look back as I think will help bring the best people up to the top in politics again particularly with the challenges of Brexit.

Spot on, Blair is a war criminal. How anyone can think him great, I'll never know, but I expect Blair thinks of himself as great. What on earth did he do for the UK other than cost the lives and limbs of our servicemen without a valid reason.
He's one that should be in The Pit, a very deep, very dark one.

68% Want Government To Get On With Brexit
A new ICM poll for Change Britain confirms Tony Blair’s delusion. 68% of voters want the government to “get on with implementing the result of the referendum”, compared to just 15% who disagree.
Even more Remain voters (42%) agree with the statement than disagree (33%). When this question was last polled in December, 26% of Remainers wanted the government to get on with the job compared to 40% who disagreed.
The Blairite / Open Britain talk of Leave voters changing their minds is fantasy – it is Remainers who are changing their minds and now want the government to deliver Brexit…

Remainers aren't necessarily changing their mind. They just acknowledge they lost the vote so want Britain to get on with it.
Hardly moaning then!

No, it means they are acting like grown ups, and going along with the majority decision even though they voted against it. They are not pro Brexit, they are just accepting the result. The denial phase is over.
Imagine you are in a football team, and you want to play 4:4:2, but the majority want to play 5:3:2. If you go along with them, it doesn't mean you have changed you r mind and think 5:3:2 is best. It just means you accept the majority decision.
