Ten years after the Brexit vote, Britain is still debating whether leaving the EU was the right decision. Supporters promised stronger growth, more control and a new global future outside Europe. But a decade later, the UK economy has struggled with weak growth, lower investment, trade barriers, labour shortages and falling living standards. Meanwhile, public opinion has shifted sharply, with a majority now saying Brexit was a mistake. In this video, we look at the economic cost of Brexit, why Brexit regret keeps rising, how the EU became more popular after 2016, and whether Britain could ever move closer to Europe again. We also examine trade data, migration, investment, inflation, food prices and the political consequences of leaving the EU. Has Brexit delivered what was promised — or has it become Britain’s lost decade?

    serious question: how does that jive with Nigel Farage’s party of morons becoming ever stronger?

    Because the others are doing a miserable job, probably. And because Farage’s party is united while the left is splitted in a lot of smaller parties which often fight between them

      Are they though? Reform has already split into reform and restore, so they aren’t as united as you think.

      About labour, are they really that bad or do people have unrealistic expectations? I don’t know tbh.
