Brexit is more important to voters than keeping the United Kingdom together, an opinion poll for The Telegraph has indicated.

Sixty per cent of respondents agreed that Britain’s EU departure mattered more than stopping the UK’s break-up, while just 27 per cent disagreed.

Furthermore a majority of people said they would still vote for Brexit even if they knew it could trigger Scotland’s independence.

The results suggest there is no "buyer’s remorse" over Brexit despite a dramatic week in which the UK’s future has been called into question.
