It's one poll. Don't get too excited. It is a sign that the Liberal Democrats are back and that the Brexit Party could well be a force too.
Now again it's one poll and also that if it were to be reflected in a General Election the shift would be so dramatic it's almost impossible to accurately forecast the individual seats (good luck Exit pollsters). However the estimated forecast from this voter share would have Labour and Conservatives as the largest and second largest parties respectively. Depending on the way the seats fell the Liberals or the Brexit party would be the junior party in any coalition.
Brings up the interesting prospects of the Lib Dems and Brexit Party joining forces to get a proportional system in place. Or more likely Labour and Tories joining forces to make sure it never, ever, happens.

You forget that a large proportion of Labour voters wanted Brexit..

This would be a problem for the Brexit Party keep their coalition together, especially post-Brexit, as Brexit is the unifying policy. Underneath they all have very different ideas. You have Thatcherites joining forces with former Marxists. People who served in the British Army to people who supported the IRA.
