A new poll has revealed that a majority of Britons would vote to rejoin the European Union if a second Brexit referendum were held today. The survey, conducted by Deltapoll for the Daily Mirror, found that 59% of respondents would support rejoining the EU.
The findings come as Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer pushes for closer ties with Brussels, including negotiations to join the EU's £78 billion loan scheme for Ukraine. Starmer has argued that the benefits of such a move would outweigh the costs for Britain, citing job creation and national security.
Speaking at the European Political Summit, Starmer acknowledged tensions with the United States under President Donald Trump, who has threatened to withdraw from NATO and pull troops from Germany. The Prime Minister urged European nations to step up their defence and security commitments, stating that the continent must face up to the reality of strained alliances.
The poll, which surveyed 3,353 British adults online between 26 April and 1 May 2026, also comes amid reports that the EU may ask Britain to contribute £1 billion annually for further single market access. The data has been weighted to be representative of the British adult population.
