Brexit didn't just cost us money: it deprived us of solidarity in a crisis

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

64% : The war in Ukraine has united the EU, and exposed the geopolitical folly of leaving as well as the economic lossBrexit was always going to be a geopolitical and economic disaster - a once-proud nation cutting off its nose to spite its face.
63% : Amid the usual platitudes about higher productivity and lower taxes was Brexiter Sunak's emphasis on "a simple, enduring proposition: that the best way to organise our economy is around free-market principles".
63% : So we leave the best free market in which we have ever participated - and which we helped to construct - in order to enjoy mysterious "freedoms" (since when, by the way, was "freedom" plural?), and the key to future economic progress is "investment".
60% : Now, a glance at a number of surveys should have told the chancellor that the main reason why businesses are not investing enough is that they have been hit by Brexit.
44% : The British economy has not exactly lost two-thirds of its business, but it is now widely recognised that the hit has been substantial, with exports running almost 20% below what would have been expected in the absence of Brexit.
33% : The daily tragedy of Putin's laying waste of Ukraine has highlighted the shortsightedness of Johnson's geopolitical misjudgment in leaving the European Union.
