- The survey found that 56 per cent of the public wishes for the UK to rejoin the EU, with 65 per cent desiring a closer relationship with the bloc.
- Over 80 per cent of those who view Brexit as a failure assign blame to Boris Johnson and the Conservative Party, while more than two-thirds blame Nigel Farage.
