I think Truss showed that the loss-tax, low-regulation Brexiters' fantasy is an economist's nightmare and unachievable.

You can't argue with the gravity of trade and if you want lower taxes or more money to spend on the NHS, we will require smoother trading terms with our main trading bloc, the EU. The UK is the only G7 country whose GDP is not back to pre-Covid levels.

Voters may have been happy to accept the economy taking a 4% hit for more sovereignty and other reasons. But when that 4% hit translates into higher taxes, poorer services or no triple pensions lock, it's no surprise the polls suggest they're now thinking differently.
