Most parliamentary seats now have a majority of voters who want to stay in the EU, according to a survey by consumer analytics company Focaldata. It said the shift in sentiment was driven by doubts among Labour voters who previously backed Brexit. Focaldata combined YouGov polls, census information and Office of National Statistics data to show 229 seats backing Remain, compared to 341 at the time of the 2016 referendum, a 112-seat swing. The study was commissioned by Remain pressure-group Best for Britain and anti-racist group Hope not Hate. Results of the survey suggested 53% of the population backing Remain and 47% Leave.
