Things are a lot worse but it's difficult to disentangle.

The coronavirus pandemic was an absolute shitshow of wasted money. A ton of locals left the workforce as well. We're paying for that on top of Brexit.

Corona, plus the war. Really, really hard to disentangle.

Yes, that too.

So we basically have issues with imports, less foreign labour, a ridiculous tax burden and an energy crisis. At the same time.

I guess one way to compare would be how did the rest of EU do vs Britain? If everyone did poorly Brexit had no measurable effect.
