Summary
Nearly 60% of Britons now say leaving the EU was the wrong decision, according to a June 9 YouGov poll cited a decade after the 2016 referendum.
Trade friction helps explain the shift: one Nottingham logistics owner who backed Remain said selling into the EU has become harder, even as his customs-services unit has grown from helping clients navigate new barriers.
A brother who campaigned for Leave is also disappointed, saying the deregulation, tax cuts and inward investment he expected never materialized and blaming governments for failing to exploit Brexit freedoms.
Brexit has faded as a daily political flashpoint for many voters, but the issue is resurfacing inside Labour as the government elected in 2024 seeks closer EU ties without reopening a push to rejoin.
