It’s not blamed on Brexit as such - it’s certainly bad timing. However the plan to hold a referendum and have no follow up plan (Cameron), followed by the rush to trigger A50 left Government racing against the clock. The lack of a definitive GE result in 2017 didn’t help followed by opposition squabbling - who upon reflection should have put up or shut up. Similarly the new extension deadline has us rushing to work to arbitrary deadlines.
Nobody is blaming the decision to leave the EU in and of itself - there’s a mandate for it after all, but it’s evidently not something easily unpicked in a couple of years. Taking back control didn’t mean fighting against the clock.
