Backing a second referendum on Brexit could win Labour an extra 1.5 million 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 10,200 people asked between late August and early September, only 6% said they would be less likely. Corbyn has previously ruled out holding another referendum, but he told Sky News that there was no point trying to hold one now because voters had already made their decision.
