I place you on stage 3 of the Brexiters' journey:
Stage 1: Brexit is a success!
Stage 2: Brexit is not the failure Project Fear said it would be!
Stage 3: If Brexit had been implemented properly, we wouldn't have a lower-growth, higher tax economy economy!
Stage 4: Maybe Brexit is partly to blame for the lower-growth, higher tax economy.
Stage 5: Those pesky remainers were right!

We’ve never moved beyond stage 1.

The purpose of Brexit was to leave the EU, therefore it is a total success as we have left. They only way it could fail is if we rejoined.
