Three years on from Brexit, the spell has finally been broken. Pretty much everyone (including Leavers) can see it for what it was and is — a disaster. New polling finds that every constituency apart from three in Lincolnshire agree that it was a mistake. As someone who was a passionate Remainer, it feels like this is the big “HAH, I told you so moment” but that achieves very little now.
I don’t blame those who voted to leave the EU. Yesterday, the airwaves were full of people with real remorse and “bregret.” I heard the same phrases — we’re sorry; I feel so bad for my grandkids; we were promised so many things — and they were. More money for the NHS, that everything would be cheaper and, ironically, that immigration would fall significantly.
