Sir Tony Blair said he believed that the United Kingdom will go back into the European Union in the future as a new poll showed support for rejoining the bloc was at a five-year high.

The former Labour prime minister told the New Statesman magazine that “a future generation” would take Britain “back into Europe”.

The comments came as Deltapoll published a survey that showed an uptick in support for rejoining the EU.

The company’s latest tracker poll, conducted between July 21-24, found that 56 per cent of people would vote to rejoin the EU if a second referendum on membership was held.

That number was up by four points when compared to the previous poll conducted between July 14-17. » | Jack Maidment | Thursday, July 27, 2023
