Squarely putting himself at odds with Central Labour policy. Maybe he should vote Green?

    56% overall, not exactly a huge majority, that could easily change once people start talking about what rejoining would actually mean in practical terms. Also your own source says the majority think it should not be a priority in the current time.

    (Also it says fewer people support joining the customs union and single market than support rejoining the EU, which is odd considering rejoining the EU inherently means joining both of those.)

      “The” priority, not “a” priority. The majority of people do not think it is the single most important thing the government should do, which is fair. We have people choosing between heating and eating, the majority of the country one paycheck away from homelessness and an electoral system that doesn’t represent the people. I’d agree rejoining the EU isn’t “the” priority, but it certainly is “a” priority.

      I never said it was a huge majority (although significantly bigger than the majority that got us out in the first place). But your comment suggests that rejoining is unpopular outside London, and I found no evidence for that. Hence my question if you have anything to back up your initial comment.
