With Brexit, the UK has achieved the gold standard of self-harm

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

67% : Brexit is proving an unmitigated disaster and having a seriously deleterious impact on the economy.
61% : It should be highlighting every day the damage that Brexit is inflicting on this benighted country, and the reasons why: the Brexit Conservatives!
59% : Even arch-Brexiter Jacob Rees-Mogg has recently admitted that implementing the next stage of the bureaucracy associated with Brexit would be an "act of self-harm".
57% : But the truth is that investment has collapsed under Brexit, a development that is hardly a signal for growth.
57% : Brexit isn't working, and it is not obvious that it can ever work.
47% : Labour's approach to Brexit seems to be, in Suetonius's words, to "hasten slowly" ("festina lente") towards a rapprochement with the EU.
45% : In my last column I suggested that Brexit is the biggest act of self-harm inflicted on the British economy since the return to the gold standard in 1925.
34% :Brexit, too, is reversible.
