More than three quarters of Tory Leave voters in England would sacrifice the Union to see Britain exit the EU, a poll has found.
Research by Lord Ashcroft, the Conservative donor, found that 76 per cent of English Conservatives who voted Leave in 2016 would prioritise Brexit even if it meant Scotland gained independence. Of the same demographic, 74 per cent would choose leaving the EU over Northern Ireland remaining part of the UK.
The figures are a marked increase compared with a YouGov poll in June, which found that 63 per cent of party members would be willing to pay for Brexit with an independent Scotland and 59 per cent would be happy to see Ireland reunite if Britain left the EU.
