A snap poll has revealed almost three-quarters think Theresa May should simply walk away from EU's attempts to inflict pain on the UK

NEARLY THREE-QUARTERS of Brits believe Theresa May should walk away from Brexit talks if presented with a ‘bad deal’.

A snap poll yesterday revealed 74 per cent think No Deal is better than accepting punishment from EU chiefs.

And the Sky News survey showed support for playing hardball is almost as high among 18 to 34 year-olds as over 55 years.

Former UKIP MP and staunch Brexiteer Douglas Carswell said: “Seems No Deal would be preferred by a big majority.

“Go ahead, Eurocrats, play hardball and make our day.”

The survey came as Dutch bank Rabobank warned that any form of Brexit – either so-called Soft or Hard – would hammer the UK.

It claimed a No Deal scenario - where we crash out of the EU in March 2019 without trading arrangements in place – would cost the UK economy £400 billion by 2030, leaving Brits £11,500 poorer.
