53% : "I voted for Boris Johnson because I wanted Brexit -- but the Tories won't get my vote any more," said Chris Hughes, a retired lorry driver, over a coffee in the Indulgence café in Skegness high street.
52% :Few voters mention Brexit spontaneously on the doorstep, but the failure of the UK's departure from the EU to transform the fortunes of the area and its public services feeds into an air of disillusionment.
51% : I was massively in favour of Brexit, but the promises made weren't delivered."
44% : Brexit seemed to offer a route to a better future, but Brookes feels let down.
43% : A poll for the UnHerd website in January found that people in Boston and Skegness constituency -- the second safest Conservative seat in Britain at the 2019 general election -- still marginally agreed by 41 to 37 per cent that Brexit was a good idea.
40% : Skegness and nearby Boston are the only places in Britain, according to one opinion poll, that still think Brexit is a good idea, but support has fallen sharply and a sense of disillusionment about politics in general is rife ahead of local elections on May 4.
