He continued: "There is an argument that Brexit is simply impossible, and No One could have done, and there is an argument that wrong decisions were made. This is somewhere In Between . "

Asked what happens next, Mr Cameron said he could not believe that a no-should be pursued deal Brexit "".

He had also not another referendum to reject.

"I don't think you can exclude this, because we're stuck," he said.

"I'm not saying that will happen or should happen. I'm not just saying that you will find, as a rule, Things that you just have as a way of unblocking of the Blockade. "
