Supporting a snap general election is an "elephant trap" for the Labour Party that would lead to a "comfortable Tory majority", Tony Blair has warned Jeremy Corbyn.
The former Labour leader said the success of the Liberal Democrats would mean Mr Corbyn would be unable to form a majority government, while the Brexit Party would "collapse" to the Conservative Party, delivering a victory to Boris Johnson.
While an election after Brexit would be "right and necessary", sending the country to the polls before October 31 is a trap for the Labour Party it should avoid, he said.
