'We're all worse off': Britain is now paying the price to leave the EU

Worse, much worse - but it's still unclear how much of that can be chalked up to Brexit vs. the war vs. corona.

It was hugely divisive between 2016-2019 but once it dropped off the media's radar people mostly stopped talking about it (before corona).

So it's no longer divisive, as in, there's now a public consensus whether Brexit was good or bad?

Or it's no longer divisive, as in, nobody has a clue anymore because too many things happened and nobody can follow the trail of economic hardship?

It's less about the trail of economic hardship and more about the media losing interest in using it to divide people.

Therefore people stopped arguing over it.

Comparison to European economies (which suffered through the same coronavirus pandemic and the same, if not worse, energy crisis) might bring some clarity.

I dont doubt it was an economic net negative.

On the whole I think the war has been far worse though.
