New vote backed in every seat

- BY MIKEY SMITH

EVERY constituen­cy now backs a referendum on Theresa May’s Brexit deal terms, a poll has found.

And the majority now support staying in the EU, including seats held by Brexiteers Boris Johnson and Jacob Rees-Mogg.

The poll – by Populus for Best for Britain and Hope not Hate – surveyed more than 8,000 people, with 81 constituen­cies changing allegiance over the past four months to back staying in the EU.

Mr Johnson’s seat of Uxbridge and South Ruislip now backs Remain by 53.5% after favouring Leave by 56.4% in 2016.

And Mr Rees-Mogg’s North East Somerset seat supports staying in the EU by 53.8% despite a 52.1% Leave vote in 2016.

Some 66.2% of those polled backed a final say by the public on any deal.

Tory MP Dominic Grieve said: “There is now overwhelmi­ng evidence that the will of the people is changing.”
