Osborne was Remain.

Politicians don't want to confront it because it's politically unwise to tell people they were wrong, and they don't want to come up with a solution.

What has actually been achieved by Brexit? We made it more difficult and expensive to trade with the EU, but we didn't get the trade deals we were promised. What did we do with all the regulatory freedom? Little.

Even where we don't have the regulation, such as the bottles on water caps, we get it anyway because multinationals find it easier to just sell the same product across Europe including the UK.
