Most people in England would prefer a no-deal Brexit to remaining in the EU, according to a new poll.

The YouGov poll shows in every region other than London people would prefer a hard Brexit if they had to choose between that and staying in the European bloc.

People in the Midlands were the most in favour of a no-deal in this scenario, with 49 per cent voting for this option while 38 per cent chose to remain.

Brits in the south of the country outside of London also thought no deal was the better of two evils, with 50 per cent choosing a hard Brexit over 40 per cent who picked the alternative of staying.




The poll in the North was a bit closer with only 5 per cent more people selecting the no deal option at 45 per cent.

Londoners were the only ones who thought remaining would be more beneficial to the country with 54 per cent choosing this option opposed to 30 per cent picking no deal.

Meanwhile, the Prime Minister has been meeting Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn today discuss a compromise so a deal can be passed.

Theresa May has already failed three times to get her option through Parliament and has now sought a delay until May 22 so she can another deal through.

Mrs May said today: ‘The country needs a solution, the country deserves a solution, and that’s what I’m working to find.’
