May has lost her Brexit minister (David Davis) but she is also increasingly losing the confidence of voters.

What is the bottom line? I don't know. I don't know what you should take away from it. There is clearly a difference between the telephone and the online polls, the evidence is that a lot of people are not excited about saying they want to remain: the passionate people here are those who want to leave. I think the status quo is less sexy but also less risky.

Despite the impending vote on Brexit, significantly more people report to have felt further removed from Europe over the last twelve months than closer to it, if the Prime Minister is to avoid disaster on his watch someone needs to start convincing the public very soon on why we should remain a part of the EU.
