The UK's life satisfaction ratings have improved since voting to leave the EU last year according to figures from the Office for National Statistics.

In the first set of numbers to solely cover the post-referendum period, there were statistically significant increases in life satisfaction, happiness and the proportion of people reporting that they felt their lives were worthwhile.

Between July 2016 and June 2017 the average life satisfaction score among people polled by the ONS was 7.7 out of 10 for life satisfaction, 7.5 for happiness and 7.9 for feeling that life is worthwhile.
