Former Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg and conservative foreign minister and the super have said they're willing to work with Tony Blair as they continue to campaign against the hard brexit. A playgroup field he's already held discussions with the former prime minister about brexit on the super declared we will work with anybody. The parrot teaming up with senior labor MP chukka Umunna to call for Britain to stay in the European single market and what Mr Clegg deemed a cross party anti heart brexit insurgency. Well let's speak now to the conservative MP and former businessman is that I'm a super who's part of that. Pro European lobbying group open Britain and I'm just a dumb do you agree with. That opening sentence that you will work with anybody including Tony Blair. Yeah I work with anybody to get the best deal for all country how do you find it all the bizarre that you'll headline news he's he's we've said we'll work with Tony Blair. It still seems to be a very strange. Thing to take from what has been a very good debate about whether or not we should stay as among other things online and I think that's the real issue which hopefully will excite and interest you'll you'll rub viewers Wilder did the reason we mention Tony Blair not it's interesting trucker munis said he couldn't well attended that because the former promised once traversed brexit will hold a second referendum that I agree with took a look I'm no inch that I'm sorry I didn't come on to talk about Tony Blair for goodness sakes. I come on to talk about why I believe the best deal we can get from all countries by remaining a member the single market I'd love the opportunity to explain to people why I think that. I'm giving it to you right now excellent well I mean the thing about the single market days is that we know that across all sectors of the British economy it means that we could try it in a way that really does benefits all countries extends beyond the I think it includes other countries and it means that we trade obviously without tires but we also trade very sweet with complete freedom so we don't have customs we don't have lots of red tape and stuff that gets in the way of red number of pretty businesses it also means that they have their supply chains home Bateson pot some components move very freely. Across all the members of the single market and over the years this has undoubtedly been a major contribution to why with the fifth largest economy so you would be in agreement with those European leaders who is saying when it comes to negotiations actually freedom of movement and single market they all the same sentence yes and I don't have a problem with that because I'm a firm believer. In the free movement of people owe it as part of being in the single market I very much want to make the case. Positively for immigration and I think that again when we have a good lawyer but in robust debates in our country about immigration with people can speak freely whatever that he's made me then I think we will persuade people that actually immigration is good at it in particular we needed for British business could be almost cult full employment so the simple thing is we reduce immigration but on Hillary were I forgive me on shoe re running the whole brexit debate didn't we discuss all this before Jan 20 third and having the votes has agreed that actually immigration is an issue and they want to. Be able to control it that we did not debate immigration lots of people definitely had conversations. But they were in a vacuum so people like me you positively believe in the in the positive benefits of immigration all voices whenever I heard we've never had that debate the decades in our country. What we've heard about a people's concerns I agree with you I don't doubt that people have concerns. But I think when you have that vigorous debate an honest debate when you look at the figures when you explain Pete to people that we now have almost full employment in our country I'm quite simply if we reduce the number of people coming here to work who is going to do the jobs who is going to do the work week upscale we can train more people I don't doubt that but where almost at full employment in our country. But if you go in as I have done and continue to do in businesses in my own constituency and across the country new tool to British business they will talk about the real benefits of having that free movement of what has upset forgive me because we did discuss this endlessly before the vote would clearly like I'm so sorry but we did not have a robust debate about immigration people like me who believe in the positive benefits of immigration have never ever made that the case for it that has never been done in the debates about the E. U. yes up people were having their own conversations but the positive case was never made a we know this about how awful it is that the fault of people that don't have it but you didn't make the case you lost...
