Responding to Mrs May's criticism, Mr Blair said: "To describe such a course as an insult is a strange description of what would be the opportunity for them to instruct Parliament as to how to proceed.
"Far from being anti-democratic, it would be the opposite - as indeed many senior figures in her party from past and present have been saying.
"What is irresponsible however is to try to steamroller MPs into accepting a deal they genuinely think is a bad one with the threat that if they do not fall into line, the government will have the country crash out without a deal."
