Third of voters back second referendum on Brexit, poll suggests
Polly Toynbee writing in the Guardian says a second referendum on Brexit would be a mistake. "Never try another referendum," she writes. "Haven't we learned that lesson the hard way?

By coincidence, her column coincides with new Guardian/ICM polling designed to find out if the public agree. And at the moment they do; supporting a second referendum is still a niche proposition. But, interestingly, it is becoming more popular. And the poll also shows that there is some evidence - not a huge amount, but some - that concerns about Brexit are growing.
