For me it has to come through in the next year or two. We left the EU about four weeks before covid hit. Ukraine hit immediately after that. Even the greatest brexit-phobe going would have to admit the timing was bad. I'm just glad it was sorted before covid hit.

All European economies have been rocked to the core by both things. The idea that Brexit was behind any of it is simply not true, and it's also true that quite plainly Covid interrupted much progress in that respect and in many other policy areas.

Nearly every govt in power during covid has been voted out or will be. None of this is unique to UK at all.
