A PRO-EU group is unsurprised by a recent poll which shows that more people think Brexit was wrong than right.

The survey found for the first time since the referendum that more people opposed the vote to leave than supported it.

The YouGov poll shows that 45 per cent of people thought the vote to leave the European Union was wrong.

Some 43 per cent of respondents supported the Brexit vote and 12 per cent said they did not know.

Tom Thompson, a committee member of Worcestershire for Europe, said: "It comes as no surprise to us to learn that public opinion on Brexit is changing.

"As time goes on, it becomes clearer that the reasons why people voted Leave are simply not valid.

"A huge amount of money was invested to entice voters to vote Leave – it worked and now we are all paying the price.

"As early as June 24, Farage confirmed that our NHS would not be receiving the promised £350m a week.

"Whilst many voters voted Leave to help the NHS, Brexit is likely to exacerbate the current crisis with a shortage of trained staff from the EU."

But Owen Cleary, chairman of UKIP in Worcester, dismissed the poll and said the people he had met were optimistic about Brexit.

"I see one of these polls every couple of weeks," he said.

"Most suggest a lot more people just want to get on with things than want to talk about the whys and wherefores.

"The gist of the people I've been meeting is...it's a democratic decision and that they might as well get things moving.

"People see the decision has been made, drew a line under it and want to get the best we can get."

Mr Cleary said any future vote on a Brexit deal would be 'anti-democratic'.

"You don't decide to play a game and complain about the rules of the game after it's finished," he said.

The poll, which was commissioned by The Times, involved 1,590 people - who were interviewed on Wednesday, April 25, and Thursday, April 26.
