Four in 10 voters believe the Labour Party’s Brexit policy is to rejoin the European Union, according to a new poll which represents a headache for Sir Keir Starmer. 

A Redfield & Wilton Strategies survey found 41 per cent of people believe Labour wants to take the UK back into the bloc. 

Meanwhile, 20 per cent said the party had no clear policy on Brexit and 23 per cent said they did not know what the party’s policy was. 

Just 16 per cent of respondents correctly identified that Labour’s policy was to stay out of the EU. 

The numbers, collected in a survey conducted on June 17 and published yesterday, suggest Sir Keir’s message on Brexit is not cutting through. Sir Keir has said repeatedly that under a Labour government the UK would not rejoin the EU. 

He said in May this year that “Britain’s future is outside the EU” as he ruled out joining the single market or the customs union and said there would be no return to freedom of movement.
