Labour voters accounted for 1.4 million of the 1.6 million voters found to have switched to a pro-Remain position. In total, 69 Labour-held constituencies are thought to have moved to Remain, while just three have switched to Leave. The campaign group Best for Britain believes that a change in Labour's Brexit stance would also sway the opinions of more of their Leave-supporting voters.
Labour MP Owen Smith, who lost a leadership election to Jeremy Corbyn in 2016 but who backs the Best for Britain campaign, told the Independent: “This new data confirms that Britain is changing its mind about Brexit and Labour voters are leading the change.

The polling is not the first data that has found public opinion is turning against Brexit, a recent YouGov poll for also showed that the British people are with the EU and are now in favour of a second vote.
