A poll finds almost half of UK voters support rejoining the European Union.
A poll by the Messina Group finds that almost half of all UK voters support rejoining the European Union. The prime minister has said Brexit has done 'more harm than good' and has promised to set out the options to the country around the time of a UK-EU summit.
The findings suggest that renegotiating the UK's relationship with the EU could boost Labour's vote share by up to seven points if offered alongside a fresh referendum. Some senior cabinet figures remain cautious about reopening Brexit divisions, although the findings are expected to bolster those in government who support negotiating on re-entry.
