Brexit was always going to be economically harmful to both the UK and the EU. I voted Brexit because I objected to the EU on political and economic grounds. Boris's lot were the last people I wanted to take us out; but I didn't think we'd ever be given another chance to get out, and I figured we could recover, in about a decade, economically. If we stayed in, we'd never recover politically.

I didn't know it would coincide with two other economic challenges: COVID, and Ukraine. Disentangling the effects of those three events is like trying to decode entrails; and anyway, I think "it's too early to say" (Chou Enlai).

I have no Bregret.
