Britons who want to rejoin EU at highest since 2016, survey finds

Data showed 58% would vote to re-enter bloc, while more respondents said they trusted the European Commission more than the UK government

Seven years after the Brexit referendum, the proportion of Britons who want to rejoin the EU has climbed to its highest levels since 2016, according to a new survey.

Both Britons and Europeans also think the UK's return to the EU is becoming more likely, while British respondents are more optimistic about the bloc's future - to the extent of trusting the European Commission more than their own government.
