No, I am not. We have only left the EU for a year and we have spent that time getting rollover deals and shoring up issues in problem areas such as the NI Protocol. Do you seriously expect there to have been big benefits achieved in 12 months? Because if you did, you have clearly never been involved in project management.

Let’s come back to this in five years, when things will look completely different. What is happening right now is a side show for those who lack vision.

The average leave supporter just wanted to get out of the EU's clutches and very obviously understood there would be a period of economic adjustment.

Admittedly it doesn't help that we have a shit PM at the moment who can't be trusted to take good economic decisions. But Covid has spannered the works somewhat and the likes of you should be supporting the UK's move forward rather than whinging on the sidelines.
I agree with most of that, except that I wouldn’t write off the PM just yet.
