Former prime minister John Major says Britain made a “colossal mistake” when it left the European Union, Bloomberg reports.
Said Major: “There are three great power blocs in the world today. United Kingdom is not one of them. There is America, there is China and there is the European Union.”
He added: “It is those strategic issues which make me believe we should be in Europe and that we have made a colossal mistake in leaving.”
