  • Half of Gen Z Britons believe Brexit has been a failure, according to new polling data.
  • Three in five of 18 to 28-year-olds, who were unable to vote in the 2016 referendum, would vote to rejoin the EU if there was another vote.
  • Meanwhile, only 9 per cent of those surveyed would choose to remain outside the bloc in another referendum.
