The poll, conducted by Public First on behalf of think-tank More In Common, and seen exclusively by PoliticsHome, found that 51 per cent of people surveyed believed the UK's support for Ukraine was deepening the cost of living crisis, but that it should continue regardless. Just 18 per cent believed the economic impact on the UK was significant enough to justify a scale-back on support for Ukraine, while a further 14 per cent said they did not believe the support was having any impact on the cost of living.

With Brexit once again dominating Twitter feeds, Channel crossings in the headlines, and all eyes on Nigel Farage, you could be forgiven for thinking we’ve all woken up in 2016. But does the rise in so-called Bre-gret mean that the electorate who only three years ago voted in Boris Johnson on a promise to get Brexit done are now demanding that Britain re-joins the bloc?

The new poll, by More in Common, also shows that although half of Britons believe Brexit was a mistake, less than a third now want to rejoin the EU.

Labour is 19 points ahead of the Conservatives in More in Common’s poll, with 48 per cent of the electorate, compared with the Tories’ 29 per cent.
