Only one in 10 feel leaving the EU has helped their finances, while just 9% say it has benefited the NHS, despite £350m a week pledge

A clear majority of the British public now believes Brexit has been bad for the UK economy, has driven up prices in shops, and has hampered government attempts to control immigration, according to a landmark poll by Opinium to mark the third anniversary of the UK fully leaving the EU single market and customs unions.

The survey of more than 2,000 UK voters also finds strikingly low numbers of people who believe that Brexit has been of benefit to them or the country.

    It’s become undeniable.

    My mother was all in on Brexit, she started out fiercely declaring it’s what the country needed.

    Then she said it’s going to benefit the country soon, then said it needs some time.

    Then she said that everything going wrong was unrelated to Brexit. Then said its not that bad, and the eventual positives will balance out.

    That’s the opinion shifting over the years. She now admits it was a mistake, “but how could we have known?!?”…

      Your Mum’s journey seems quite positive, overall. Is she now in favour of re-joining? If not, then she still has a long way to go.
