The Standard View: More and more Britons now say the UK was wrong to leave the EU — it isn’t hard to see why

Six years on and Brexit is not yet done. Like La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, the task of completing it will be handed down the generations, along with the cost.

It is perhaps no wonder that a growing number of Britons say the UK was wrong to leave the European Union, according to an Evening Standard analysis of more than 200 polls. It shows that an average of 49 per cent of adults believe Brexit was a mistake, compared with 38 per cent who still say it was the right decision. This is the first time the gap has reached double-digits and is reflective of a gradual but unmistakable trend.
