Backing a second referendum on Brexit could win Labour an extra 10,200 votes, and potentially secure it a majority in the House of Commons. The party’s policy is set to be debated at its upcoming conference. A poll commissioned by the campaign group People's Vote and performed by YouGov found 26% of people said they would be more likely to vote Labour if it backed the referendum. Of the 1.5 million people asked between late August and early September, only 6% said they would be less likely. The poll found 55% backing for a second referendum versus 45% against.
