This is clearly only the opinion of a delusional Tory.

The majority of the public already recognizes brexit as a failure and the numbers who share this view are only increasing. The growing recognition of the scope and breadth of the lies used to sell brexit to the public is now being felt (Farage was always viewed as a liar, but BoJo and Gove are fucked in terms of their long-term reputations.) The UK will soldier on because they are too fatalistic for their own good, but the broader populace has come to realize that the issues are not temporary, are going to last for decades at best, and that many of them will only be solved at great cost. Right now everyone is just waiting for the NI protocol to blow up so that we can see just how few friends the UK really has and learn what if feels like when the US officially turns against us on trade issues.

Why has it been a failure? Because you say so or because you want it to be one? Scope and bredth of the lies? Like the economy crashing and going into recession the day after we voted to leave? Soldierning on, you make it sound like the economy has tanked and were in the middle of a massive economic downturn with massive capital flight, high interest rates and hyperinflation.. When in fact the the figures today showed the highest number of unfilled vacancies in 20 years, an economy thats generating so many jobs it cant fill them? Thats failure? Explain to me exactly why the issues arent temporary, you seem to be utterly convinced of this, even though the logistical issues have only been occuring in the last few months. Explain to me the great cost part of your statement, what great costs? Paying working people higher wages?

As for the NI protocol, it looks like the EU are caving in to UK demands not the other way around , and as for the US and trade issue, they've already started to take trade sanctions off us but have left them on the EU.

That was a democratic decision to leave or did leave "cheat" on facebook and social media? The leader of the opposition who was one of the leading remainers has come to accept Brexit and the fact we're not going back. Delusional you say. You sound very bitter about the UK leaving, but you're going to have to accept it like a mature adult and not sulk about it. Its done, its not going to be reversed, sovereignty isnt going to be handed back to the EU again. There wont be another referendum, we wont have free movement, we wont join the single market or a customs union. You wont have a burgandy passport anymore. And you're a citizen of the UK and not the EU.
