Only one in 10 feel leaving the EU has helped their finances, while just 9% say it has benefited the NHS, despite £350m a week pledge according to new poll

A clear majority of the British public now believes Brexit has been bad for the UK economy, has driven up prices in shops, and has hampered government attempts to control immigration, according to a poll by Opinium to mark the third anniversary of the UK leaving the EU single market and customs union.

The survey of more than 2,000 UK voters also finds strikingly low numbers of people who believe that Brexit has benefited them or the country.

Just one in 10 believe leaving the EU has helped their personal financial situation, against 35% who say it has been bad for their finances, while just 9% say it has been good for the NHS, against 47% who say it has had a negative effect.

    You should’ve seen the faces of Farage and Johnson when the Brexit campaign did win and they suddenly realized there was no plan at all, not even a rough idea of what to do in case of Leave winning. The mouth was cheering but the eyes were desperately looking for a rock to crawl under.

      Bozo changed sides at the last minute to back whatever would provide him with the vehicle that would help him to be prime minister.

        But not to be PM right away. Let some other sucker take that job and fuck it up (because it’s an impossible task as there are a dozen different ideas of Brexit) then he can come along later once most of the dust has settled.
