Huge Brexit poll shows majority for leaving EU as deal talks go down to wire

Most people want to leave the EU according to the biggest Brexit poll since the 2016 referendum.

Some 54% back the UK of British honouring the result and quitting the bloc, regardless of the way they voted three years ago.

The ComRes/Channel 5 survey of 26,000 voters showed 50% wanted out compared with just 42% who support Remain – a drop of 6% since the referendum.

And when “don’t knows” are excluded, 54% say their preferred outcome is to leave against 46% who want to stay.

The poll came as a group of cross party MPs travelled to Brussels to urge the EU to extend the Brexit deadline to give time for a second referendum.

Former Tory Dominic Grieve, Plaid Cymru’s Westminster leader Liz Saville Roberts, Labour ’s David Lammy , Green MP Caroline Lucas and SNP MP Peter Grant hold meetings with key French, Dutch and Irish representatives ahead of tomorrow's crunch EU showdown.

As time ticks down to scheduled departure on October 31, the MPs claim there are growing moves in Parliament for MPs to back a deal with a referendum attached.
