Perhaps, perhaps not.

IIRC the forecast economic damage is lost opportunity for growth rather than immediate losses, and any actual immediate losses could be easily dismissed (especially by this lot) as “COVID losses, not Brexit”.

It's unclear whether the collapse of the European banking system will have the effect of boosting support for rejoining the EU, but it's not impossible.
